The grand plan was laid out a few years ago by Hamad bin Jassim, Qatar’s influential prime minister and most visible international dealmaker. The Qatar Investment Authority could, with the right decisions, secure the wealth of the country until well after the last tanker of liquefied natural gas has sailed from Ras Laffan port.
Since then, the QIA has become one of the world’s highest-profile institutional investors, rubbing shoulders with the other leading sovereign wealth funds, such as Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Singapore’s Temasek.
