DOHA: Ministry of Commerce and Industry’s (MoCI) Single Window platform launched five new electronic services in the second quarter (Q2) of this year and saw an increase of 5.38% in the electronic transactions on a quarterly basis.

Minister of Commerce and Industry, H E Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al Thani, stated in a post on his official X account, “I am delighted to share the results of the Ministry’s periodic monitoring system, our mechanism for measuring performance and evaluating impact. In the second quarter of 2025, the time taken to complete registrations and licenses decreased to two days (98% electronically), and 88% of customers expressed satisfaction with the Single Window services – as part of our commitment to improving the investment environment in the country.”

“The Single Window platform launched five new e-services during the second quarter of 2025, as part of our ongoing efforts to streamline procedures and enhance digital transformation. The percentage of e-transactions increased by 5.38% compared to the first quarter. We will continue developing the platform to make it faster, easier and provide more efficient services for investors,” the Minister added.
