Gulf News, 3 March 2026: Qatar’s Financial Markets Authority has shifted its operations to remote work, instructing all licensed entities under its supervision to do the same until further notice.

The authority has confirmed that the remote‑work requirement would begin on Tuesday and remain in place until further notice. In its announcement, it stated that each institution would determine which employees must attend on‑site based on the nature of their duties.

Officials noted that this step aligns with earlier guidance issued on flexible working arrangements. The regulator said the decision forms part of general precautionary measures being adopted across several sectors, ensuring business continuity and safeguarding staff while operational conditions are reassessed.

Institutions were advised to continue following official updates and ensure internal procedures support uninterrupted service delivery during the remote‑work period.
