Fez – Morocco is gaining the confidence of international investors thanks to its economic reforms, stable financial environment and strong macroeconomic framework, according to the president of the European Investment Bank (EIB), Nadia Calviño.
Speaking in an interview with MAP during her visit to the kingdom, Calviño said Morocco has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investment because of the consistency of its reforms and the stability of its economy.
She said this progress has created an environment where investment projects can be financed and expanded, allowing the country to attract larger-scale investments.
According to Calviño, businesses need a predictable and transparent business environment to grow.
She stressed the importance of clear regulations, simpler administrative procedures, easier access to financing and skilled workers, as well as modern infrastructure.
She added that these reforms help turn investor confidence into concrete projects, job creation and new economic opportunities.
Calviño also described Morocco as a key economic and industrial player in Africa and an important strategic partner for the European Union, both politically and economically.
She said the EIB, which serves as the European Union’s lending institution and is owned by its 27 member states, continues to support major investment projects in Morocco, further strengthening the country’s appeal to international investors.
Calling Morocco a natural bridge between Europe, Africa and the Atlantic region, Calviño said a stable and well-connected Morocco benefits the wider region and reinforces cooperation between the European Union and Africa.
The EIB chief’s visit to Morocco, which runs until July 1, is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the strategic partnership between the EIB and the Kingdom.
The bank is one of Morocco’s largest international financial partners.
Since the start of its operations in the country, it has provided more than €12 billion in financing for projects across several sectors, including small and medium-sized businesses, renewable energy, education, sustainable transport, healthcare, water and sanitation.
