Since then the exchange has grown to become one of the leading stock markets in the GCC region. In June 2009, Qatar Holding, the strategic and direct investment arm of Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), and NYSE Euronext, the worlds leading exchange group, signed an agreement to form a major strategic partnership to establish the Exchange as a world-class market.
