Morocco’s National Investment Commission (CNI) approved 237 investment projects worth more than 369 billion dirhams ($37 billion) during eight sessions, Minister Delegate for Investment, Convergence, and Public Policy Evaluation Karim Zidane told parliament on Monday.
These projects are expected to create over 166,000 permanent jobs across all regions of the country, Zidane said at the question time of the House of Representatives.
The minister said the government is accelerating the rollout of the new Investment Charter to promote productive private investment and boost inclusive economic growth, especially in high-potential sectors.
“Employment promotion remains a top priority for the government,” Zidane said, adding that enhanced public investment plays a key role in creating the right conditions for job-generating ventures.
Zidane also noted that 98% of the actions under the 2023–2026 roadmap for improving the business environment had been launched, with around 60% completed by the end of June. The reforms are being overseen by the National Committee for the Business Environment (CNEA), in coordination with the ministry.
Zidane cited several key measures already implemented, including electronic company registration, enforcement of a new legal framework for arbitration and mediation, improved payment timelines, simplified administrative procedures, and stronger territorial coordination on investment-related matters.
He added that the ministry has launched a major initiative to streamline 15 key investment procedures, from project inception to completion, with the goal of improving the investor experience.
