The Cabinet of Qatar has approved a series of draft laws and policy measures aimed at advancing governance reforms, supporting digital transformation, and strengthening social and education sectors, according to an official statement released in May 2026.
The decisions were announced following a Cabinet session that reviewed legislative proposals across multiple ministries, reflecting ongoing efforts to modernise administrative systems and enhance public services in the country.
Among the key measures approved was a draft law on electronic invoicing, developed by the Ministry of Finance in coordination with the General Tax Authority. The legislation is intended to improve financial data systems and align with broader digital transformation goals being pursued across government institutions.
The Cabinet also endorsed a draft law regulating the practice of social professions, designed to support greater participation from private and non-profit sectors in delivering social services. Authorities said the framework aims to improve governance standards, transparency, and long-term sustainability in the sector.
In the education field, officials approved a draft law governing private schools, prepared by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The updated framework seeks to strengthen regulatory oversight and enhance the quality of education provided by private institutions.
Additional decisions included regulatory updates in the energy and health sectors, as well as international cooperation agreements, including a memorandum of understanding on legal cooperation between the Ministry of Justice of Qatar and its counterpart in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Cabinet also reviewed reports on Qatar’s participation in regional and international forums, including discussions related to social development, humanitarian assistance, and climate change.
The latest approvals reflect Qatar’s continued focus on administrative reform and policy alignment with long-term development strategies, particularly in areas linked to governance efficiency and digital infrastructure.
