Home Industry Finance Biggest Banks In Qatar Massive public spending and impressive GDP growth saw a bumper year for Qatar’s banking sector. by Darren Stubing August 23, 2012 In a regional context, apart from Qatar National Bank, Qatari banks are relatively small but are growing at faster rates than most GCC bank competitors. Together with Qatar National Bank, domestic banks such as Qatar Islamic Bank, Al Rayan and Al Khalij Commercial Bank, are expanding at noted rates driven by Qatar’s strong economic growth profile. Qatar’s GDP growth rate continues to be incredibly impressive, with expansion of around 20 per cent in 2011, and the country remains one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
