HEC Paris in Qatar and QCB have tailored the program to integrate various educational approaches, including peer learning across ten specific modules designed to foster key knowledge-sharing among employees. Academic Director Professor Ai Ting Goh, HEC Paris’s Co-Director of the Major/MS program in economics and finance and a distinguished macroeconomics and banking specialist, will spearhead the program.
Dr. Pablo Martin de Holan, Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar, highlighted the collaboration’s importance: “Our partnership with QCB underscores our dedication to nurturing Qatar’s local talents and advancing the nation’s transition towards a diversified, knowledge-based economy. With Professor Goh’s leadership and the specialized knowledge of our faculty, which includes industry experts, we are confident participants will gain a broad understanding of the various aspects of Central Banking and its future in the State of Qatar and the GCC.”
