Well, it's very simple and easy....

Take your original Qatar ID and a photocopy of the ID to DSM office on the Bank street. Once you enter from the main gate you will see 'Customer Services' counters.. Just approach one of the counter and tell them you want to open and account. He will give you one form to fill your details and to pay QR.100 (you have to go to 1st floor to pay QR100 by CASH).

Once you have paid QR.100, they will give you your account number (Shareholder account number).

After DSM office you have to go to 'THE GROUP' who are the brokers. Their office is just oppt. Toyota Building.

In 'The Group' office you have to deposit some amount in Doha Bank Counter and submit the bank deposit receipt to the 'Customer Service' counter. They will register your 2 telephone numbers (mobile or landlines) from which you can do your shares trading, check market rates and buy or sell you share.

The Group website is here: http://www.thegroup.com.qa

Similarly there are other brokers, you can ask DSM Customer Services to give you list.

That's all :-)

All the best.

You can also apply for an online trading account. I think its a better option than the phone. Good luck, I think now's a good time to get into the market since we still bout 50% off our highs from last yr

You'll find everything you want to know at the Doha Securities Market (now Qatar Exchange) website:

As for brokers, I've been using The Group and am quite happy with their services. They have an office in the DSM building, so you can open an account as soon as you've got your NIN number. Dlala is also supposed to be good, though I haven't used them myself.

You'll need an investor number with the Qatar Exchange on the bank street near Al Fardan, take your ID and apply there.Then when you have your investor number go to any brokerage group- The Group near Toyota signal near the airport is a good one.Open an account with them and then you can deposit money in your account and begin trading. Good luck.
