 
At Commercial Bank, we have long been champions of digital innovation and technological progress. New technologies have radically reshaped the banking industry over the last two decades, but the current pace of change is simply unprecedented. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened the door to a host of new opportunities, allowing forward-thinking banks to enhance their customer experience offer, increase efficiencies and boost their global competitiveness.
Commercial Bank is proud to be an early adopter of advanced AI technologies, and our company-wide deployment of AI tools is helping us to positively transform our banking operations and customer engagement.
In 2019, Qatar launched its National AI Strategy, setting out a bold and comprehensive plan for unlocking the many opportunities that AI presents. The demand for AI-powered services has been growing rapidly in recent years – both in the banking industry and across the wider economy – fuelling strategic investments in Research and Development (R&D), upskilling and digital infrastructure.
By 2031, the Nation’s overall AI market is predicted to grow by 29 percent, reaching a value of $2.2bn. With strategic investments helping to support a thriving AI sector, Qatar is fast becoming a regional pioneer in digital innovation, with exciting real-world impacts for the banking world and beyond.
Leveraging technological momentum
Across the globe, AI is transforming industries, economies and societies, bringing countless opportunities to boost productivity, reduce costs, and drive innovative thinking.
The appetite for AI adoption appears to be particularly strong in Qatar. According to PwC, 90 percent of Qatar-based CEOs have reported integrating GenAI into their businesses over the last year, compared to 83 percent globally.
At Commercial Bank, we share this enthusiasm for harnessing the opportunities that new technologies can bring. Digital innovation is at the heart of everything we do – it defines how we design our products, deliver our services and enhance every customer interaction.
Investor appeal
With Qatar’s AI strategy advancing at a rapid pace, the Nation’s investment appeal also continues to grow. New technologies play a key role in creating Qatar’s dynamic and welcoming business environment, with the widespread adoption of AI tools helping to boost productivity and enhance the customer experience for investors with an interest in the region. Last year, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Qatar surged by 110 percent to $2.7bn, reaffirming the Nation’s ability to attract high-quality investments into its key growth sectors.
