“I look forward to talking to the Moroccan authorities and the business community and discussing our future areas of cooperation”, said Mr. Bowman
The EBRD is “committed to supporting Morocco’s economic transition, and we value our longstanding partnership with government authorities, partner banks and the private sector – all essential drivers of a greener, more inclusive economy”, he added.
