During this meeting, the two sides welcomed the quality of the relations between Morocco and the EBRD, and discussed issues of common interest, including the prospects for the development of financial and technical cooperation, as well as institutional relations between the two partners, says a press release by the Department of the Treasury and External Finance (DTFE), under the ministry of Economy and Finance.

This meeting takes place on the occasion of the convening of the 31st Annual Meeting and Business Forum of the EBRD, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty the King, from 10 to 12 May 2022 in Marrakech, under the theme “Responding to Challenges in a Turbulent World”.

On this occasion, Mrs. Fettah and Mrs. Renaud-Basso, who was accompanied by Sarah Fountain Smith, Director representing the Kingdom of Morocco at the EBRD, were delighted with the organization of this event which is being held for the first time in Africa, recalling the importance of these annual meetings, which represent an opportunity to discuss the Bank's strategic orientations and to bring together the international business community.

Morocco, a founding member of the EBRD, became a country of operations of the Bank in 2012, recalls the same source, noting that the EBRD has already invested more than 3 billion euros in the Kingdom through nearly 80 projects.
