The central banks of Qatar and Turkey signed a currency swap agreement in the Qatari capital Doha, Turkish media reported.
According to sources from the Turkish central bank, the first step has been taken after Qatar pledged $15 billion of investment package in Turkey last Wednesday.

It will provide liquidity and support for financial stability, along with facilitating exchange of trade between Turkey and Qatar. The agreement will also contribute to the enrichment of reserves of both countries.
The funding for the first phase of the deal is expected to be worth $3 billion.
