The Moroccan Employers’ Body (CGEM) took part, on Tuesday, in the MENA-OECD Government-Business Summit, held in a virtual format due to the current health context linked to the Covid-19 epidemic.
The two-day Summit, held ahead of the 2021 MENA-OECD Ministerial Conference, is intended to reflect on the design of a roadmap for an inclusive and resilient post-Covid-19 economic recovery in the MENA region, which will be submitted to the Ministerial Conference.
The Economic Summit brings together ministers and representatives of business associations and civil society to discuss issues crucial to an inclusive economic recovery, notably investment, value chains, youth economic empowerment and informality.
The CGEM was represented by its vice-president Mehdi Tazi who spoke during the session under the theme “Fostering a healthy climate for companies and investments”, as part of a panel on “economic integration in the heart of recovery and growth”.
This panel, moderated by Fathallah Sijilmassi, former Secretary General of the Union for the Mediterranean, was an opportunity for participants to discuss political actions aimed at improving an investment climate that could support the recovery, which would be conducive to SMEs and would allow sustainable economic growth.
In his speech, Mehdi Tazi, Vice-President of CGEM stressed the importance of a stronger involvement of the private sector in the consultation process in order to ensure the reforms necessary for resilience and post-Covid economic recovery.
“What is important in this period of crisis is a rapid consultation between the public and private sectors”, affirmed Tazi who gave a testimony on the way with which Morocco managed the pandemic.
Morocco has been hailed on several occasions for its good management of the health crisis, because it has shown a good example in the exchanges between public and private sectors, underlined the Vice-president of the CGEM, who noted the importance of rapid reactivity to manage crises.
