Qatar orders Mawashi merge with retailer

Doha, January 19, 2009

Qatar's government has ordered a merger between Qatar Meat & Livestock Co (Mawashi) and Al Meera Consumer Goods Co, the third merger deal in the country in as many months.

"The move comes in line with the country's investment policy to maximise shareholders' equity in the Qatari shareholding companies which will contribute to the national economy and economic development," Mawashi said in a statement on the Qatar bourse website.

It gave no more details on the merger and said that the two companies would have to agree on the mechanics of the move.

In November, the government ordered Qatar Navigation and Qatar Shipping to merge.

Earlier this month, Qatar's Gulf Warehousing said it was merging with Agility Qatar, a unit of Kuwait's Agility, the Gulf's biggest logistics firm. - Reuters
