Doha, Qatar: In a new recognition for Qatar's real estate sector, HE Eng. Khalid bin Ahmad Al Obaidli, Chairman of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat), has been named among Forbes Middle East’s list of 10 Government Real Estate Leaders.
The annual list, published by Forbes Middle East, recognizes government leaders who play a pivotal role in shaping real estate ecosystems through effective policy-making and regulatory oversight.
Forbes described the featured leaders as “some of the most important stakeholders in the real estate ecosystem, setting policies that promote the industry while also regulating it to protect consumers.”
