About Qatar Stock Exchange.

Qatar Stock Exchange is the principal cash-equity venue of Qatar. Founded in 1995 (Doha Securities Market); rebranded 2009, it operates under the oversight of Qatar Financial Markets Authority (QFMA), and its leading benchmarks are QE Index, QE Al Rayan Islamic Index. Listing standards are set out in the QSE Rulebook; QFMA disclosure rules.

Qatar’s principal equity venue, with substantial weighting to financial services, industrials, and energy-adjacent issuers. Foreign-ownership caps and segment-by-segment access rules require careful structuring for institutional collateralisation.

02 · Eligibility
For Institutional Positions

What qualifies on QSE.

QSE is an established but selective venue; we weigh eligibility against the stock’s liquidity, free float, and how concentrated the holding is.

For any given QSE position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).

03 · Disclosure
QFMA

Framework cited on QSE.

The principal regulatory reference on QSE is QFMA disclosure rules. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.

The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.

QSE · Stock Loans

What holders ask about QSE.

01How much can I borrow against a QSE-listed holding?
The loan-to-value is set to the specific holding — free float, daily traded volume, volatility, and your regulatory standing. We quote indicative ratios only after reviewing the actual QSE position.
02Which QSE segments can I borrow against?
We look at each case across the segments Qatar Stock Exchange runs: Main Market; Venture Market. Higher tiers are usually simpler to structure, as free float and liquidity are deeper.
03What currency can the facility be drawn in?
The default is QAR, the listing currency. Cross-currency structures are common and readily arranged.
