Morocco showcased its expertise in public-private partnerships (PPPs) at the “Public-Private Partnership for Change Summit” held in New York, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly’s high-level week.
The forum highlighted the Kingdom’s role as a platform for growth and innovation, particularly for international companies and emerging economies.
The summit brought together political leaders and global business figures, including the presidents of Togo and Sierra Leone, South African businessman Patrice Motsepe, president of the Confederation of African Football, and Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber.
Discussions focused on how PPPs can accelerate reforms and create value in developing countries.
Moroccan Ambassador to the United States, Youssef Amrani, presented the Kingdom’s model, emphasizing its foundation in credibility, decisive action, and inclusive growth. “The national model is based on credibility, decisive action, and an unwavering commitment to inclusive growth,” he said, highlighting the strategic integration of public policy and private sector dynamism.
Amrani stressed that in Morocco, the private sector is not merely a partner of the state but a driving force for development.
“This dynamic results from constant interaction between political vision, institutional commitment, and entrepreneurial energy,” he noted.
The Ambassador also detailed Morocco’s investor-friendly framework, which combines tax incentives, competitive sectoral clusters, and robust guarantees for investment protection, making the country an attractive base for international enterprises.
The Kingdom’s geographic position, bridging Europe and the Atlantic, was presented as a key advantage, complemented by Morocco’s active African engagement.
According to Amrani, this combination positions Morocco as a gateway for companies seeking to expand their footprint across the continent.
“In a world in search of vision and confidence, Morocco presents itself as a stabilizing force and a land of opportunity, open to those who aspire to build shared prosperity,” the ambassador concluded.
By presenting its PPP model on an international stage, Morocco aims to reinforce its image as a hub for innovation and cross-continental investment, demonstrating how strategic partnerships between public institutions and the private sector can drive sustainable development and regional integration.
