Morocco Seeks to Boost Economic Development by Engaging Diaspora Skills and Investment

During this scientific meeting, Nezha El Ouafi mentioned the investment opportunities and the available potential to mobilize the skills of Moroccans of the world so that they can contribute effectively to the development of the national economy, in various fields, such as "agriculture, industry, tourism and renewable energies". She also noted that Moroccans residing abroad (MREs) have successfully carried out several projects in different fields in Morocco. But she regrets "the lack of initiatives to make the most important investment opportunities known to Moroccans of the world", reports the MAP.

The minister mentioned several important programs that will aim to mobilize the skills of MREs. She also reviewed several programs that have been implemented such as "the creation of a special fund to support the investments of Moroccans residing abroad, the creation of the "Region 13" in 2017", and "the launch of the MRE ACADEMY program in partnership with the National Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion", as well as "the preparation for the launch of the GREEN MRE ACADEMY project", specifies the same source.
