Objective: better inform Moroccans living abroad of investment opportunities and tax advantages offered by the new Charter. “We are in permanent contact with thousands of Moroccan investors in more than 20 countries,” said the minister. Meetings are regularly organized during ministerial trips, as recently in Japan and Korea.
Second axis of this strategy: improve the reception and support of investors. The Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE) and the Regional Investment Centers (CRI) are on the front line to guide project leaders.

Karim Zidane recalled the importance of the diaspora in the economic development of Morocco. A thematic committee dedicated to promoting investment by Moroccans around the world was also created on the instructions of King Mohammed VI.
Asked about the more global challenges of investment in Morocco, the minister presented the three pillars of the government strategy. It is first a question of creating a national consensus around common objectives, in order to boost investment and remove obstacles. The second axis concerns the implementation of the new Charter, including measures to support businesses, the attractiveness of foreign investors, and the strengthening of public-private partnerships. Finally, the third component aims to establish unified and decentralized investment governance.
