The 6th National Investment Commission approved 52 projects, including 48 agreements and 4 amendments, under the new Investment Charter, which has been operational since March 2023.
These projects represent nearly 113 billion MAD, with 24 billion MAD in private investments, and are expected to create around 18,000 jobs, including 10,000 direct jobs and 8,000 indirect jobs.
Among the approved projects, 4 strategic initiatives were approved in electric mobility, renewable energy, and seawater desalination.
These projects, totaling 21 billion MAD, will generate approximately 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in Guelmim-Oued Noun, Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceima, and Casablanca-Settat regions.
Additionally, 3 more projects, worth 14 billion MAD, were reviewed for strategic designation, which will create nearly 38,000 jobs in the textile, electric mobility, and telecommunications sectors.
