international investors have now been addressed and that this
will result in a positive decision by MSCI on the use of the
official rate and maintenance of the status quo,” according to a
bourse spokesman. The statement comes in the wake of reports
that MSCI is considering a proposal to apply offshore rates of
Qatari Riyal instead of the official exchange rate in respect of

on all banking transactions including transfers, stressing the
free movement of money transfers into and outside the country
at the official exchange rates, which the QCB announces on
daily basis.” (Gulf-Times.com)
