The recognition underscores Doha Bank's leadership in transforming the housing finance landscape in Qatar through customer-centric innovation, market responsiveness, and a strong commitment to sustainability.

The housing loan portfolio recorded a 23% year-on-year growth, driven by the campaign's strong performance and high customer retention, reinforcing Doha Bank's position as a preferred financial partner for aspiring homeowners in Qatar.
