Qatar\u2019s plans will revolve around \u2018vital projects\u2019 in the automobile, Information Technology and banking industries and add to their investment portfolio in Germany, which currently stands at more than \u20ac25bn.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Muzel said the yet-to-be formed committee would identify and recommend projects in Germany where Qatar can make investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that a major part of the investments announced will go into Germany\u2019s small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are also called the hidden champions of German economy. SMEs in Germany aren\u2019t small entities. They\u2019re quite big companies,\u201d the German envoy was quoted as saying by\u00a0Qatar Tribune<\/em><\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to instal several institutions and mechanisms to make it easier for Qatar to go ahead with its investment plans. We like to have a proper kind of plan. This will be put into action soon,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muzel said the Joint Task Force on Trade and Investment, which was formalised in the presence of HH The Emir and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, will be part of a team that would draft a proposal (for both the German and Qatari side) that would present the next steps needed to steer the direction of additional Qatari investments.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
