As His Majesty King Mohammed VI has stressed on several occasions, investment is at the heart of Morocco's development mechanism. 
Investment is one of the priorities set by the new development model, as well as the government program. 

Indeed, the convening of the first meeting of the Investments Committee under the current government mandate, in a short period, consecrates the will to give a strong boost to investment. The periodicity of the meetings of the Investment Committee will also be strengthened to speed up the ratification of the agreements and better respond to the expectations of Moroccan and foreign investors. 

At its 81st session, the Investment Committee considered and approved 13 draft agreements and annexes to the agreement, with a total investment value of 2.09 billion, which will enable the creation of 5,294 direct and indirect jobs. 
The industrial sector constitutes 54% of the investment value, followed by the trade and distribution sector with 33%, and the health sector with 13 %. 

The value of programmed projects with national capital is 1.13 billion Dirhams (54%), while the value of mixed foreign capital is 956 million Dirhams.
