Qatar’s largest investment bank denied yesterday that it had bought two Polish shipyards, explaining that it was acting as an adviser to a potential buyer in a deal that has still not been completed. On Tuesday, Polish Treasury Minister Aleksander Grad said the Gdynia and Szczecin shipyards had been sold last month and that the buyer was QInvest, which he described as a Qatar investment fund. QInvest’s statement said yesterday that it is a “full service investment bank, not an investment fund.” “QInvest is acting as an adviser for clients who are in the process of acquiring these assets. The names of these clients cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality reasons. The transaction is currently at the due diligence stage and pending completion.” http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=Local_News&subsection=Qatar+News&month=July2009&file=Local_News2009070512343.xml
