Qatar Airways Wins ACT Middle East Treasury Award

Qatar Airways has secured the prestigious ACT Middle East Treasury Award in recognition of its monumental QR 4.5 billion capital raising, a dual-tranche syndicated facility led by QNB and backed by a consortium of local banks. 

This major financing deal is considered one of the largest aviation-sector capital raises in the region and highlights Qatar Airways’ robust financial governance and ability to manage complex funding structures. 

At the core of the transaction was QNB, which played a pivotal role in structuring the deal and coordinating with supporting local financial institutions. Their cooperation bolstered the transaction’s success and reinforced the strength of Qatar’s banking sector. 

For Qatar Airways, the award is a validation of its prudent financial strategy and long-term vision. Group CEO Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer emphasized that the capital raising aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 and reflects the deep partnerships between the airline and local banks. 

Similarly, QNB’s CEO Abdulla Mubarak Al-Khalifa praised the deal for its demonstration of the local financial sector’s resilience and capacity to deliver complex, innovative financing. 

The ACT Middle East Treasury Awards celebrate excellence in treasury and financial management across the region. This accolade for Qatar Airways underscores not only its own financial discipline but also its strategic role in reinforcing Qatar’s economic resilience.
