Nicholas Marr CEO Marr International “Investors from our international portal Homesgofast.com were recently surveyed to find their top ten places to invest abroad. Omissions from the list included Spain and Dubai. However my real surprise was that Qatar did not feature in the top ten. For me it ticks all the right boxes for investment. I believe this region has huge potential, The Qatar Urban Planning and Development Authority aim to make the capital Doha a world class city. There is investment said to be around $1.5 billion being made right now for a second international airport. It can be seen from recent events in London the Qatar government certainly have the resources to reach its goals. Recent property prices falls in Qatar make this a good time to get in early”

The Qatari backers of London's tallest proposed skyscraper re-emphasised their commitment to the scheme with a visit by the Governor of the Qatar , Sheikh Abdulla Bin Saoud Al-Thani pledged that his state will back the development of the 94-storey tower at London Bridge to completion in 2012.

Al-Thani was said to have visited the site to make the situation crystal clear, following turmoil in the Gulf triggered by Dubai World's announcement of a debt standstill last week.
