The agreement aims to enhance the banking and advisory ecosystem available to local businesses by combining the strengths and expertise of both institutions.
As part of this initiative, the two entities will jointly offer a suite of value-added services tailored to SMEs, including advisory support in financial planning, marketing, succession planning, feasibility studies, restructuring, and risk management.
Additionally, a jointly agreed calendar of workshops will be held throughout the year at either Commercial Bank's or Qatar Development Bank's premises, further supporting SME development and growth.

Through comprehensive advisory services and knowledge-sharing sessions, we are not only investing in the future of businesses but contributing meaningfully to the development goals of Qatar's 2030 National Vision."
Dr Hamad Salem Mejegheer, Executive Director, SME Development at Qatar Development Bank (QDB), emphasised the significance of the agreement, stating: "Through this collaboration with our partners at Commercial Bank, we aim to harness our collective expertise to deliver greater impact in entrepreneurship, particularly in supporting SMEs, which form a cornerstone of Qatar's economic development. This agreement represents a new step toward achieving our strategy to enhance and develop the local enterprises, in alignment with the Third National Development Strategy of the State of Qatar (2024-2030)."
