Rabat: The Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Investment, Convergence, and Policy Evaluation, Karim Zidane said, on Monday in Rabat, that his department is “actively and continuously committed” to increasing investment rates among Moroccans living abroad, particularly in productive sectors.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the Minister elaborated on the ministry’s efforts during a session at the House of Representatives. He outlined two main pillars of focus: enhancing communication with Moroccans abroad to inform them about investment opportunities in their homeland and promoting the incentives under the new Investment Charter.
The Minister detailed how the second pillar aims to bolster reception, guidance, and support structures within the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE) and Regional Investment Centers (CRI). He praised the essential contributions of Moroccans abroad to the country’s socio-economic development and, following the High Directives o
f His Majesty King Mohammed VI, noted the establishment of a thematic committee dedicated to fostering investments from this community. This committee is tasked with developing a tailored action plan that addresses the unique needs of Moroccans living abroad.
Addressing the challenges within the investment ecosystem, the Minister outlined the government’s strategy based on three main pillars. The first pillar seeks to build consensus around shared goals at both regional and sectoral levels, enhancing convergence to drive investment and overcome obstacles.
The second pillar involves five strategic initiatives related to the new Investment Charter, including activating investment support mechanisms, attracting domestic and international investors, strengthening public-private partnerships, improving the business climate, and establishing the National Investment Observatory to track progress toward investment objectives.
Finally, the third pillar focuses on creating a unified and decentralized governance fram
ework for investment, ensuring a streamlined approach to managing and facilitating investment activities in Morocco.
