Sources: Gulf Times and Qatar public holidays. Yesterday, the Qatar Central Bank announced a bank holiday for the period of December 18-23, inclusively. Traditionally, insurance companies follow the Qatar Central Bank directive on bank holidays, and the Doha Securities Market (DSM) also announced it would remain closed from December 18 to 23, and that it would reopen for trading on December 24 at 10am.
Note that, as we reported on December 3, the public sector, and most non-financial private sector workers, will be off from December 18-25, inclusively.
