The infrastructure of the Qatari Bourse has been gradually developed to turn its trading from manual to fully electronical. Following such progress was the increase in market capitalization, the rise in volume of shares trading and the increase in number of registered investors. To accommodate such growth, the number of brokerage firms increased and the utilized systems were further developed to enable investors‘ trade remotely. Proportionately, the rules and regulations were amended to commensurate such development to position the bourse as the leader among others in the area. The market has entered into a new phase at the time when Law # 33 for the Year 2005 was issued. The new phase resulted in transforming Doha Securities Market (DSM) into a shareholding company-named Qatar Exchange (QE). The creation of QE on June 19, 2009 aims at creating an innovative shift in the market‘s infrastructure that would transform it into a world-class recognized exchange operating under the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art technology systems. To implement such vision, a strategic partnership was formed, with NYSE Euronext taking 20 percent stake in QE, making QE commencing operations effective June 21, 2009 (DSM, n.d).
