  "account": "Qatar has introduced a new platform, Doha Investment, to manage and expand its domestic portfolio, as Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani unveiled a five-year pipeline of projects and investment opportunities worth over $60 billion. The prime minister made the announcement at the Qatar Economic Forum, which took place during the UN General Assembly. The platform aims to leverage three decades of work on constructing world-class infrastructure, institutions, and companies, and to increase private sector participation as a catalyst for growth.\n\nOver the next five years, Qatar plans to launch infrastructure projects worth approximately $38.5 billion, including public-private partnerships, with initial tenders starting immediately. Real estate and hospitality projects are expected to attract $22.5 billion in private investment, with the Simaisma Beach project projected to draw about $5.8 billion. Combined, the projects and opportunities represent a value of more than $60 billion over five years.\n\nThe prime minister emphasized that Qatar seeks partners with technological innovation, market access, and a commitment to long-term partnerships. He stated that while the current climate of uncertainty is acknowledged, Qatar remains determined to bolster regional stability through diplomacy while pursuing economic reform, resilience, and growth through investment. Diplomacy and economic stability are interconnected, as diplomacy ensures the conditions necessary for trade, investment, and long-term planning, while lasting security cannot be reliant on cycles of escalation and retaliation or arrangements that leave any state permanently vulnerable.\n\nRegarding the current regional crisis, the prime minister stated that talks should initially focus on security and de-escalation before addressing energy supplies, shipping routes, and the fate of investment plans. He asserted that the region requires a framework based on respect for sovereignty, where no state threatens another. Qatar remains committed to being a mediator, a reliable energy supplier, and a long-term investment partner. The prime minister described recent regional events as an \"earthquake\" whose aftershocks have reverberated beyond the region's borders, challenging long-held assumptions about security and stability. Despite the crisis disrupting activity and increasing costs, Qatar's financial system remained operational, and companies continued their operations, a testament to resilience built over years of preparation under the leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.",
