Two senior officials from the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development started this Thursday a two-day working visit to Morocco for talks with government officials and business representatives.
Discussions will focus on EBRD’s support for the private sector, key infrastructure investments and the transition to a green economy, said the bank in a press release.
In Casablanca, EBRD’s 1st Vice- Pdt. Greg Guyett and Vice-Pdt. for Banking Matteo Patrone will meet with Minister of Economy & Finance and EBRD Governor, Nadia Fettah. The discussions will focus on enhancing private-sector support in Morocco, accelerating the transition to a green economy and driving investments in key infrastructure.
The EBRD delegation will also meet representatives of local public and private companies, including clients in Morocco’s banking sector, and will sign several investments agreements.
Mr Guyett said: “It’s an excellent opportunity to deepen our cooperation with Moroccan partners and explore new opportunities. The EBRD will support Morocco’s development priorities by investing in the energy transition, expanding access to finance for SMEs, supporting the innovation economy and strengthening private-sector competitiveness.”
Since 2012, EBRD invested almost €5.9 billion in 125 projects focusing on sustainable energy, infrastructure, and private enterprises.
