Total assets of Qatar’s commercial banks signalled robust performance, further supported by strong liquidity positions, increased lending activity, and continued investments.
According to the official data of the Qatar Central Bank (QCB), total assets of financial ventures operating in the Gulf country increased by 5.8% to QR2.15 trillion in November 2025.
The Qatar Central Bank posted on its X (formerly Twitter) platform the key banking sector indicators that registered an increase in November 2025 compared to the previous year. The key highlights from the “November 2025 Monthly Monetary Bulletin” showed that total assets saw year-on-year expansion, reaching QR2.15 trillion.
The rise in assets further underscores the banking sector’s resilience and its critical role in supporting the Gulf nation’s broader economic diversification goals under “National Vision 2030.”
Total domestic deposits increased by 2.6% annually, reaching QR865.9 billion in November 2025. Meanwhile, domestic credit soared by 4.8% year-on-year to QR1.36 trillion during the same period. The total broad money supply (M2) increased by 1.2% to reach QR744.4 billion in November 2025 on a year-on-year basis.
Talking about the banking sector’s role under Qatar’s “National Vision 2030,” QCB has drawn up its “Financial Technology Vision,” based on the goal of developing, diversifying, and increasing the competitiveness of the Gulf country’s financial technology and services sector through pioneering infrastructure and providing solutions that positively impact the customer experience.
Significant progress has been made in implementing the strategic objectives outlined in the “Third Financial Sector Strategy,” QCB’s “2024–2030 Strategy,” the “FinTech Strategy,” and the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Strategy for the financial sector.
In 2025, several initiatives were implemented, including the issuance of instructions for the establishment and operation of a real estate development escrow account, as well as instructions for data processing and protection, the issuance of a sustainable finance framework, and the issuance of a circular on financial services for customers with disabilities and the elderly. In addition, a circular was issued announcing a change in the fifth issue of the Riyal banknotes in accordance with the laws in force in the State of Qatar.
