Qatar Development Bank (QDB) concluded its participation in the “Big Five Saudi” exhibition held in Jeddah recently. This year’s exhibition attracted 11,453 visitors from 547 countries who were able to review 27 Qatari private sector companies at the three day-event at the Qatari Pavilion hosted by QDB and its export arm “Tasdeer.”  Attendance at the show allowed local businesses to generate sales leads and grow business within Saudi Arabia’s booming construction industry.  Tasdeer executive director Hassan al-Mansoori said: “The ‘Big Five Saudi’ is one of the largest exhibitions for building and construction in Saudi Arabia. It provides a respected industry platform for marketing products and building business relationships.  “QDB’s participation encourages Qatar’s private sector and help develop international export and import leads. Tasdeer has the important role of promoting local companies at international events and gives them access to world markets to showcase quality Qatari products.” Tasdeer provides financial solutions, credit insurances, and advisory services for Qatari exporters. It further supports businesses in developing their export capabilities through export development and promotion. Picture shows visitors to the “Big Five Saudi” exhibition at the QDB booth.
