The Investment Charter

Presentation

Morocco has taken bold steps to modernize its investment landscape, aligning with the principles of the "New Development Model." To achieve its vision of elevating private investment to two-thirds of total investments by 2035, a new "investment charter" has been introduced, which guides investments towards strategic priorities and provides robust incentives. 
 

The charter is structured around three key pillars: the creation of investment support mechanisms, enhancement of the business environment, and promotion of unified and decentralized governance. The intent of this new charter is to navigate the changing national and international landscape, while keeping Morocco at the forefront of investment opportunities.
