Julius Baer entered the Middle East market in 2004. Apart from Doha, the company also has offices in Dubai and Manama.

Earlier in 2022, the company revealed its plans to explore the market of Qatar and hired Slim Bouker to drive the expansion.

Bouker highlighted: “We see the emergence of a new generation of wealth in Qatar and we aim to use our expertise to the benefit of current and future generations of clients.”
