Qatar's Minister of Economy and Commerce, Sheikh Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Thani, has denied that the government was behind the drop of the Doha Securities Market (DSM) since it wants to control inflation. "The Doha Securities Market (DSM) is in no way linked to inflation, so why monitor it to control inflation," the minister was quoted as saying by the Peninsula.
It should be mentioned that Qatari shares lost heavily last month with the 20-share index shedding more than 1,900 points.
