Qatar Wealth Fund Plans Doubling US Investments with $500 Billion Pledge

Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, led by CEO Mohammed Al Sowaidi, plans to at least double its annual investments in the U.S. over the next decade, building on a $500 billion pledge to invest in the U.S. economy. This increase reflects confidence in the growth and robustness of the U.S. system and targets sectors such as artificial intelligence, data centers, and healthcare, aligning with U.S. President Donald Trump’s agenda to reindustrialize the country. The move follows recent diplomatic strengthening between the U.S. and Qatar, including President Trump’s visit to Doha and significant business agreements aimed at generating over $1.2 trillion in economic activity. The fund’s expanded investments mark a notable shift after a period of regional tension and embargoes against Qatar, now replaced by improved U.S.-Qatar relations. This strategy underscores Qatar’s commitment to deepening economic ties with the U.S. while supporting key technological and industrial sectors.
