Khaled Zaidan, the Minister Delegate in charge of Investment, Convergence, and Evaluation of Public Policies, affirmed that Morocco is strengthening its position as a reliable and secure destination for foreign direct investment, benefiting from multiple factors, most notably its security and political stability compared to several neighboring countries.
Zaidan made these statements during his participation in the “Liberal Discussion” program broadcast on Sunday evening. He highlighted that the political and economic stability experienced by the Kingdom serves as a strong guarantee for investors, especially given the stability of the Moroccan dirham against foreign currencies, particularly the euro, which alleviates the risks of currency fluctuations on investments.
Zaidan pointed out that the Kingdom’s advanced infrastructure, including ports, airports, and modern roads, are primary factors that enhance the attractiveness of the Moroccan market. He also praised the Moroccan youth, who have proven capable of leading major projects despite challenges, emphasizing that this human resource is receiving special attention in vocational training and higher education, especially in fields like engineering, medicine, and nursing.
The minister also noted the cultural and social openness of Moroccans, which facilitates the integration of foreign investors and contributes to creating a flexible and welcoming business environment.
Zaidan explained that the investment charter serves as a genuine lever for attracting major companies, offering government support that can reach up to 30% of the investment value, thus bolstering the confidence of economic players and encouraging them to enter the Moroccan market.
He issued a direct call to Moroccan investors, stressing that investing in their homeland should be seen as a national responsibility alongside being a profitable opportunity, contributing to job creation and reducing emigration.
It is worth mentioning that foreign direct investments in Morocco saw a remarkable increase in the first quarter of 2025, reaching 9.15 billion dirhams, marking a growth of 63.6% compared to the same period in 2024, indicating a clear sign of the growing confidence of international investors in the Moroccan economy.
