Qatar Central Bank Governor Bandar bin Mohammed bin Saud al-Thani said there is no need to change the policy of pegging the Qatari riyal to the dollar. He added that his country exports energy in dollars, which is beneficial to the local economy.

The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, said on Wednesday that she does not expect a rapid shift in US dollar reserves. She told Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum that "it's not time to say goodbye to your dollars"
