Details

The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (http://www.mec.gov.qa/en) is responsible for the registration of companies in Qatar, but there is no evidence of any data on its website or elsewhere.

However, the Qatar Chamber of Commerce (a non-government organisation) has a searchable companies directory: http://qatarchamber.com/2311 as does the Qatar Financial Centre Authority: http://www.qfc.qa/company-register/Pages/cro-search.aspx The QFC register includes information on date of registration and licence status, and has the ability to search by company director. It does not contain address information, but the Chamber of Commerce directory does.

Reviewer comments

No evidence that the dataset exists, but I have updated the details section with information on two non-governmental directories.
