QFMA Objectives
In pursuance of its vision, the QFMA has been enhancing its regulatory infrastructure, based on international best practices and standards for the capital markets to advance the Qatari capital markets to serve as a model for financial services by achieving its mission which focused on investor’s protection, maintenance of Qatari capital markets’ stability, integrity and transparency; and development of proficiency and knowledge to enhance the growth and diversity of the national economy.
To materialize the objectives and vision of the Qatar Financial Markets Authority, a strategic partnership with The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment was made. Combining the Regulatory knowledge of the QFMA and the high standards of Professionalism and Experience held by the CISI, an educational and a licensing program was devised to enhance the qualification standards in the Qatari capital market. The licensing program, a combination of a Preparatory exam, Regulatory exam and one Elective exam based on market roles, provides a perfect platform to strengthen the knowledge of all licensed employees under the QFMA as well as raising the overall standards of the market.
