Morocco is an “exceptional” gateway to the African continent, asserted the European Investment Bank’s (EIB) new representative in Morocco, Adrien de Bassompierre, on the bangs of the Africa Investment Forum (AIF) being held in Marrakech.
“We are working with Moroccan economic players and financial institutions beyond the Kingdom’s borders. This once again demonstrates Morocco’s influence across the continent, in favor of investment”, said Mr. de Bassompierre. He praised Morocco’s role as host of the AIF, which is held under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI.
“Morocco has demonstrated its ability to successfully organize the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and this Africa Investment Forum in a difficult context, following the earthquake that affected several provinces in the Kingdom”, he said, noting that this was proof of the Kingdom’s resilience and its ability to remain exceptional.
Adrien de Bassompierre also reiterated the EIB’s commitment to supporting the development of the private sector in Morocco and Africa.
For him, the AIF is an opportunity to meet numerous Moroccan and African partners, investors, operators and other international financial institutions.Nearly 600 high-level participants are taking part in the 2023 edition of this forum, which aims to be a multi-stakeholder platform focused on concluding continent-wide agreements through an innovative format combining project presentations in dedicated “board rooms” and high-level sectoral debates.
