Doha Bank does not see "big hit" from c.bank move

Qatar's Doha Bank (DOBK.QA) does not expect a major financial impact from the central bank's decision to separate the Islamic operations of conventional lenders in the Gulf Arab state.
Doha Bank will continue to meet its contractual obligations within its Islamic business and will seek clarification from the central bank when required.
The central bank issued a circular to banks, saying it "has been decided to terminate the activities of the Islamic finance services" offered by conventional banks.
Other Banks effected by the directive include international lender HSBC (HSBA.L), Qatar National Bank (QNBK.QA), Commercial Bank of Qatar (COMB.QA), Al Ahli Commercial Bank AABQ.QA and International Bank of Qatar.
