Morocco’s position as a leading model in infrastructure development was highlighted by CEO of the Africa50 investment platform, Alain Ebobissé, during the fifth Africa Investment Forum on Wednesday in Rabat, Morocco’s Press Agency (MAP) reported.
“Morocco, a shining example in infrastructure development, is poised to witness significant growth in investments within this sector,” Ebobissé said.
The Kingdom has been speeding up its infrastructure construction efforts in preparation for major sporting events such as the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Additionally, the government has focused on acquiring an attractive business landscape to attract large-scale investment opportunities.
Ebobissé highlighted the Mohammed VI Investment Fund as a key driver in stimulating Morocco’s investment landscape.
“The introduction of innovative mechanisms, such as this fund, has reinforced the dynamic flow of investments in Morocco,” he said.
Ebobissé underscored the crucial role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in accelerating the implementation of key structural projects.
“These partnerships will be pivotal in mobilizing additional investments and enhancing the execution of critical infrastructure initiatives.”
Several distinguished figures attended the opening session of the forum, including Omar Kabbaj, advisor to the King and Honorary President of the African Development Bank; Nadia Fettah, Minister of economy and finance; and Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank.
