Moreover, the Bank's investments reached QAR 2.4 billion, indicating a growth of 67% compared to the QAR 1.4 billion reported on September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, total assets reached QAR 6.2 billion, indicating an increase of 55% compared to the corresponding period the previous year, which was QAR 4 billion.
