DOHA, Qatar – 06 January - 2019 -   Capturing newer horizons of growth and empowering financial sectors of Qatar, Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) proudly collaborated with Qatar Financial Centre Authority (QFCA) and delivered a seminar on “Aviation Financing”. Aviation finance is turning out to be a lucrative business proposition for Qatar. At present, there is no hub for aviation financing in the region, and QFCA aims to gain the first mover advantage.

This four-day custom designed program will provide attendees the finer nuances of aviation financing right from basics to the advanced level including Export Credits; Capital Markets; Tax Leases; Common Financing Tools, etc., thereby preparing new age leaders to drive change. The entire program is designed in such a way that attendees will be able to gain practical insights in the form of real life case studies. Each module will be followed by a Q&A session to help clear participants’ doubts.

On the seminar, Dr. Khalid Al Horr, CEO, QFBA, said:
“We are proud to associate with QFCA to deliver such a path breaking seminar. Aviation financing will open up immense opportunities for new age finance professionals of Qatar and would certainly offer them a competitive edge. QFCA has been an undisputed leader in assisting companies to expand their base in Qatar and this new addition will once again position it as the preferred partner to bank on. Our abled team has carefully designed this program after scrutinizing the prevailing market conditions and what one should look for in the aviation financing space. We are certain that the attendees will greatly benefit out of this program and be able to apply that knowledge into their respective workplaces. We are thankful to QFCA to have given this opportunity and help in supporting the Qatar National Vision 2030.”

On his part, Qatar Financial Center CEO Yousef al Jaida said:

 “Qatar Financial and Business Academy possesses greater knowledge and expertise when it comes to honing skills of new age professionals. Aviation financing in Qatar is growing as a sunrise industry and hosting this seminar provided the much-needed nuances into the upcoming industry to prepare the young entrepreneurs towards capturing newer horizons. It was indeed a treasure trove of information and in the future as well, we would certainly collaborate with QFBA to empower about next generation.”
