Bank of Africa launches ‘Invest in Morocco’ to attract diaspora funds

Bank of Africa launched a webinar series in partnership with Morocco’s 40 Under 40 to support investment in Morocco, particularly among Moroccans living abroad, the Moroccan government-friendly outlet Yabiladi reported on March 18th.

The initiative, titled “Invest in Morocco”, is designed to provide information and guidance to international investors and Moroccan nationals abroad.

It will feature multiple sessions focusing on sectors identified as priorities in Morocco’s economic development strategy, including industry, renewable energy and infrastructure.

According to the bank, the series will outline financing options, investment procedures and administrative steps required to operate in Morocco. It will also present sector-specific prospects and explain how to enter the market.

The webinars will be held online and are intended to reach Moroccan professionals and entrepreneurs living abroad, as well as international investors interested in the country.

Sessions will include presentations on sector-specific opportunities and information on the investment environment. Bank of Africa said the initiative forms part of its broader strategy to support economic development and attract investment.

The bank operates across several African and international markets and offers services for Moroccans living in the diaspora.

The programme is also aimed at diaspora investors, with officials saying it is designed to make it easier to start projects in Morocco. The project is also intended to strengthen links between Moroccan institutions and professionals based abroad.

The webinar series is expected to simplify investment processes and improve communication between investors and Moroccan institutions.

It aims to address challenges faced by companies entering the market, such as administrative procedures and access to local networks.

Morocco has promoted investment in sectors such as the aerospace and defence industries, as well as renewable energy, in recent years, as part of a broader effort to support economic development.

Bank of Africa said the “Invest in Morocco” initiative reflects growing interest in the country and is expected to attract more investment.
