GBPA promotes Freeport in Qatar
FREEPORT, Grand Bahama – More than 7,500 miles away in Qatar, Ian Rolle, president of the Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA), captured yet another opportunity to herald the benefits of Freeport, during the 14th Doha Forum. Held in Qatar this past week, the Doha Forum represented a gathering of more than 300 delegates from 69 countries.
On the invitation of Mohammed Jaham Al Kuwari, Qatar’s ambassador to the United States, Rolle presented on the subject “Economic potential of Freeport” to various high-level investors; namely members of the Qatar Investment Authority.
“Freeport is a premier center for business and private investments, and sharing this message has always been GBPA’s mission and mandate. However, I don’t believe we have ever had the opportunity to deliver our message to a group such as this,” Rolle explained, referring to the Qatar Investment Authority, which manages one of the world’s largest sovereign investment funds.
The 14th Doha Forum took place over three days, May 12–14; and while its agenda focused on enriching the Middle East’s economic future, Rolle noted that the conference addressed a broad range of economic issues, applicable to many countries.
“The Bahamas is no different from other countries striving to attract foreign investment,” he expressed,” Rolle said.
“GBPA capitalized on an excellent opportunity to promote the benefits of Freeport.
“We had a captive audience of extremely influential investors and our message was precise; the opportunities Freeport presents as a platform for a wide range of investments.”
