Morocco to Develop Integrated National Policy for Improvement of Business Climate (Govt. Head)

The head of government Saad Dine El Otmani said Tuesday in Rabat that the National Committee for the Business Environment (CNEA) will begin in the coming days the development of an integrated national policy to improve the business climate, based mainly on the results of the national survey on obstacles to the development of the private sector, conducted by the Committee in 2019 in partnership with international experts.

The announcement was made during the proceedings of the 11th meeting of the CNEA, which was devoted to the presentation of the results of the Committee’s activities for the year 2019, the adoption of its action plan for the current year and the presentation of reports on a set of structuring projects in the country and which concern the development of the business climate.

Speaking on this occasion, El Otmani stressed that pursuant to the Instructions contained in the message addressed by HM King Mohammed VI to participants in the 2nd session of the International Conference on Justice last October in Marrakech, in which His Majesty stressed the need to develop a strategic vision in the field of improving the business climate, the CNEA “will work this year to prepare and develop an integrated national policy to improve the business climate,” according to a statement by the department of the Head of government.

To ensure the success of this important project, a steering committee will be set up and will include the different sectors and organizations concerned from the public and private sectors. It will be in charge of preparing the content of this national policy, he explained.

El Otmani commended, in this regard, the performance of the CNEA as one of the mechanisms of consultation and dialogue “that we will continue to support to define and implement the priorities of reforms that facilitate the work of the national enterprise and increase its competitiveness.”
