Qatar’s Amir has restructured the Qatar Investment Authority board, bringing in senior government ministers and business figures.
Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has issued an Amiri decision to reconstitute the board of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the state’s sovereign wealth fund, according to state news agency QNA.
The decree, No. 14 of 2026, was issued in Doha on Wednesday and sets out a new board structure led by Sheikh Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Thani as chairman, with Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani as vice chairman.
The reconstituted board brings together key figures from Qatar’s economic and strategic sectors, including Finance Minister Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi, Minister of Commerce and Industry Sheikh Faisal bin Thani Al Thani, beIN Group chairman Nasser bin Ghanem Al Khelaifi, and Hassan bin Abdullah Al Thawadi, managing director of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy.
The Qatar Investment Authority manages assets estimated at around $580 billion, making it one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds.
The reshuffle comes as Gulf sovereign funds seek to strengthen investment resilience and reposition portfolios amid global market volatility, driven in part by the U.S.-Israel war on Iran and rising bond yield pressures.
The decision takes immediate effect from the date of issuance and will be published in the official gazette.
