Rabat – Miriem Bensalah Chaqroun, head of the General Confederation of Enterprises in Morocco (CGEM), took part the Women Entrepreneurs Finance (We-Fi) commemorative panel held in Hamburg, Germany, this Saturday, July 8.
Invited by Jim Yong Kim, head of the World Bank, Bensalah took part to this high level debate next to renowned feminine figures, such as Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s Counselor, Chrystia Freeland, former Canadian minister of International Trade, and Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF.
In a fluid English, Bensalah advocated for a better “promotion of the spirit of innovation among women,” while asking several questions related to the commitment of women entrepreneurs in political governance.
The We-Fi initiative, launched by the World Bank in partnership with the US and Germany, aims to mobilize USD 800 million to support entrepreneurship by women, states a press release of the CGEM.
Since 2008, the G20 forum has gathered the major industrialized and emerging countries of the world. Originally created to deal with the global financial crisis, it is a forum for dialogue on pressing global economic issues.
