Qatar Economic Forum postponed due to tensions in Middle East

The annual Qatar Economic Forum postponed its gathering to a later date due to ongoing developments in the Middle East.

Organizers will announce new dates and an updated program for the event, powered by Bloomberg and held in the Qatari capital Doha, at a later time.

"The Forum will reconvene under conditions that enable strong international participation and a high-quality experience for all," a press release read on Wednesday.

Previously, the forum was scheduled for May 12–14.

At the end of February, Iran launched retaliatory attacks against countries in the Gulf region, particularly US-affiliated bases and firms, in response to attacks by the US and Israel, affecting Qatar as well.
