Morocco strengthens global partnerships as stability drives investor confidence

High-ranking officials and international organizations are praising Morocco’s stability and strategic reforms, positioning the country as a key partner in sectors ranging from infrastructure to renewable energy and aerospace.

Morocco as a pillar of stability

Naima Moutchou, Vice President of the French National Assembly, highlighted Morocco’s progress as a model of stability in a volatile global environment. “Morocco is, by unanimous opinion, seen as a pillar and a point of reference in a very troubled world,” she said, adding that the country’s bold reforms have advanced its infrastructure and development agenda.

Her comments come ahead of Morocco’s Throne Day celebrations on July 30, a national occasion that reflects the country’s progress under His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s leadership. Moutchou emphasized the growing strength of Morocco-France relations, describing them as entering an “unprecedented phase.”

Praise from African and European institutions

Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), also acknowledged Morocco’s transformation, crediting His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s vision for structural reforms and large-scale initiatives. “Morocco’s transformation is built on deep structural reforms,” Adesina said, noting the country’s successful combination of public policies and major investments to foster modernization and economic stability.

European Investment Bank (EIB) President Nadia Calviño echoed these sentiments, underscoring the bank’s support for Morocco’s green and sustainable development. Calviño highlighted projects such as the Noor Midelt solar complex and integrated wind power programs, stating, “The EIB supports Morocco’s ambition for greener and more resilient infrastructure.” Since 1979, the EIB has invested over €10.6 billion in Morocco across nearly 150 projects.

Morocco’s industrial edge

Ross McInnes, Chairman of the Board of Safran Group, commended Morocco’s industrial advancements, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy. “Morocco has real expertise in key sectors,” McInnes said, attributing this to the skill level of the country’s workforce.

Safran, an aerospace leader, employs over 5,000 people in Morocco across more than eight sites. McInnes emphasized Morocco’s role as a strategic partner outside France and expressed optimism about the country’s international standing, particularly in light of its 2030 FIFA World Cup project.

“Morocco’s position as an African and Euro-Mediterranean hub is a major attraction for investors like us,” McInnes said, highlighting the country’s reach into Africa and its growing global prominence.

A united vision for the future

Across institutions and industries, Morocco’s stability and reform-driven agenda continue to attract international partnerships and investment. By fostering collaboration in renewable energy, infrastructure, and industrial innovation, the country is cementing its role as a leader on the African continent and beyond.
