Qatar’s Commerce and Industry Ministry has previously launched in March 2022 the Qatar Business Map portal in line with Qatar Law No. 1/2020 (the Unified Economic Register Law).
The QBM Portal is available on the Ministry’s website
It aims to support the transparency of economic and financial transactions by compiling basic information, data and documents for economic establishments, legal arrangements and non-profit organizations and freelancers.
The portal provides a comprehensive database for users, allowing them to view the investment advantages of Qatar’s various regions through a search service for commercial establishments per region and for various commercial activities.
The Portal provides statistics on the number of commercial licenses registered in each municipality, new and signed-off commercial licenses and the latest commercial establishments registered in Qatar.
Following the launch the Unified Economic Register has now been established.
The responsibilities and functions of the Unified Economic Register Unit include the following:
- Implementing the provisions of the law and the regulations relating to the unified economic register;
- Maintaining, managing and supervising the unified economic register;
- Operating and managing an information system for the unified economic register, and defining the mechanisms for linking databases and the necessary information that must be exchanged between the unified economic register and the competent authorities;
- Preparing a database for the unified economic register, updating it on a continuous basis, and making it available to the public and the relevant authorities;
- Issuing certificates and extracts from the unified economic register upon payment of prescribed fees.
