The Qatar Chamber (QC) has successfully concluded a four-day training programme entitled “Gold Science: Investment and Savings” at its headquarters, offering participants a comprehensive understanding of gold as a vital tool for both investment and savings.
The programme, delivered by economic expert Hani Hamad, who specialises in the global gold market, attracted a diverse group of participants ranging from entrepreneurs and investors to individuals interested in gold as a secure savings option.
Over the course of four days, attendees explored a wide spectrum of topics that bridged theory with practical application. Sessions focused on methods of gold valuation, techniques of buying and selling, and an overview of international measurement units and instruments used in the gold trade.
A key highlight of the program was its practical component, which provided participants with analytical tools to study price trends, assess investment risks, and adopt safe and effective trading strategies.
The programme also placed strong emphasis on risk management through hedging techniques and smart trading practices. Importantly, participants were trained to identify and avoid common commercial fraud schemes prevalent in local and international markets.
The workshops offered hands-on experience in calculating gold prices with precision, equipping participants with the ability to make informed financial decisions backed by modern economic analysis.
Speaking at the conclusion of the programme, Fatima Issa Al Kuwari, head of training and development at Qatar Chamber, stressed the chamber’s ongoing commitment to equipping Qatar’s business community with specialised knowledge.
“This programme reflects our dedication to aligning training initiatives with the real needs of the market and the aspirations of investors and entrepreneurs,” she said.
Al Kuwari also highlighted the active engagement of participants, noting that the program’s relevance extended to a wide audience including business leaders, individual investors, and professionals interested in gold as a reliable store of value.
For his part, Hani Hamad underlined the uniqueness of the initiative, describing it as the first training program in Qatar to focus specifically on gold investment and savings.
“The programme was designed to provide both knowledge and practical tools,” he explained, “enabling participants to understand the dynamics of the gold market and to develop strategies based on scientific and economic analysis rather than speculation.”
Hamad praised Qatar Chamber’s role in spearheading initiatives that enhance financial literacy and empower investors. He emphasised that raising awareness of gold as an investment option is crucial at a time when global markets are increasingly volatile and individuals are seeking safe havens for their assets.
The successful completion of this program marks another milestone in Qatar Chamber’s broader strategy to support the local business ecosystem by offering training opportunities that build capacity, strengthen investor confidence, and contribute to sustainable economic growth.
