We are a very open economy
Saad-Eddine El Othmani, Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco

Caspian Energy (CE): Your Excellency, economy of the Kingdom of Morocco is closely linked with both the African countries and Europe. How would you assess the investment attractiveness of the Moroccan economy and other countries of the continent?

Saad-Eddine El Othmani, Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco: For several years the Kingdom of Morocco has been implementing a strategy for bettering the investment attractiveness, which implies reducing delays in companies’ registration and mitigation of administrative barriers. Besides, it has made it easier to reach funds meant for projects financing, and also set up better guidance for investors, etc.  

These policies have allowed our country to improve its ranking in Doing Business from 97th in 2012 to 69th in 2018. Our ambition is clearly to host more and more strategic investments both for the African market but also for the needs of our strategic partners such as European countries.
