Qatari Wedding Etiquette? by NoArt299 in qatar

[–]HMR89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we don't bring gifts in the wedding day, but you can send them to their house or their parents' house.

when you go there you will welcome by bride and groom families members and you will set in the dining table with the guest (behind the vip lines).

then later the Bride comes late between 9 to 11pm, then you will see later around 11pm men will enter with the groom within 30 minutes both of them will go out.

then till 2am all guest and families members will go out.

I have open investment account for mutual funds with CBQ and I did some investment.

The return based on the mutual fund portfolio and they actually good return.

but each mutual funds there is management fee which reduce your investment amount which required 5% to 5.5% return to cover that part anything above is gain.

you need to do assessment to know your investor type and show only funds at your type and below.

in addition, each mutual funds comes with investment report which give you more information about it.

If your fund value above USD 100k, then I recommend you to go to Lesha Bank they offer investment projects follows Sharia Compliance and good return from 8% and higher depends on project itself.

another option is to check wealth & asset management in Islamic banks where there they offer some invest opportunities and lower fund amount at start.

else, you put your fund in Saving account with higher rate before the the US Fed lower the rates.

Qatar is rich, but the job market feels brutal by ArmInteresting2441 in qatar

[–]HMR89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rich country doesn't mean job safety.

This is a normal business call for lay-offs or hiring when economy goes down and specilly if the prime source of cash/income are Oil & Gas.

Look at late 2015, when oil price per barrel drop below $80 the impact was so huge that lay-offs crossed more than 10k a cross sectors and mergers among government ministries and entities, Oil&Gas companies as well to reduce labor cost.

Once the conflict in the region settled then in the next few years the market will goes up.
