Ali Sharif Al Emadi (Arabic: علي شريف العمادي; born 3 January 1969) is a Qatari economist and businessman.

[5] Emadi was included in the Top 100 Powerful Arabs list in February 2013, coming in the 32nd place due to his role in the rapid growth and expansion of the Qatar National Bank.

[4] He was appointed minister of economy and finance on 26 June in a cabinet reshuffle following the ascension of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani as Emir of Qatar.

When his request was not fulfilled, a group of Middle Eastern countries, with Jared Kushner’s backing, initiated a diplomatic assault that culminated in a blockade of Qatar.

[11] In March 2023, Al Elmadi was charged with bribery, abuse of position and power, damage to public funds and money laundering, for which he will stand trial.
