Qatar Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Development Program
In August 2025, the Qatari Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) launched an electronic platform to showcase public-private partnership programs. This initiative supports the Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy (NDS3) 2024–2030, both of which aim to empower the private sector, increase its contribution to GDP, and drive economic transformation and innovation. In Qatar, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are considered essential for infrastructure development, technology transfer, skills enhancement, and innovation.
The MOCI platform provides a comprehensive database of projects and initiatives involving both the public and private sectors. The platform promotes a competitive business environment and supports sustainable innovation and investment. The database highlights significant private-sector participation in education, healthcare, infrastructure, food security, renewable energy, and tourism.
Qatar’s PPP framework is established under Law No. 12 of 2020, which regulates collaboration between government bodies and private enterprises. The Ministry has created a dedicated PPP Unit to oversee project evaluation, conduct feasibility studies, draft contracts, and ensure competitive bidding. Institutions such as the Qatar Financial Centre and the Qatar International Court have improved the legal and investment landscape by streamlining processes and providing specialized legal support. These efforts enhance efficiency, governance, innovation, risk diversification, and overall competitiveness.
The market is characterized by robust policy indicators, including approximately $19.3 billion in government procurement across healthcare, public works, and energy. Procurement includes more than $1 billion in non-oil private sector exports over five years, and a 2025 general budget of $57.5 billion, driving development spending for key government initiatives. PPPs are instrumental in driving economic diversification, strengthening local industries, and positioning Qatar as a leading global investment destination.
