Brookfield opens Doha office to expand global credit investment business

Brookfield, a global investment firm, has established a new office in Doha to bolster its global credit investment business. This strategic move aims to expand its footprint in Qatar and the broader Gulf region, leveraging its existing investments and partnerships. Among these, Brookfield's planned $20 billion joint venture with Qai, Qatar's artificial intelligence company and Qatar Investment Authority subsidiary, to develop AI infrastructure stands out.

Jad Ellawn, Brookfield's Managing Partner and Regional Head for the Middle East, emphasized Qatar's emergence as a significant global investment hub, crediting the company's established partnerships with leading institutions. He viewed the Doha office as a logical progression in Brookfield's regional expansion, expressing optimism about the investment prospects and the firm's potential for deeper engagement in Qatar.

This new office underscores Brookfield's commitment to establishing a local presence in markets where it deploys capital, with plans to collaborate closely with partners to identify investment opportunities in Qatar, solidifying its long-term commitment to the country. Brookfield's assets under management include approximately $20 billion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), encompassing private equity, real estate, credit, and infrastructure investments.

Globally, Brookfield oversees over $1 trillion in assets, invested across infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate, and credit, with a diverse portfolio of real assets and essential services driving the global economy.
