The key priorities for the economic start of the year and the main challenges facing the national private sector were at the heart of the second board meeting of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) under the 2026-2029 term, held Thursday in Casablanca.
On this occasion, CGEM President Mehdi Tazi, who chaired the meeting, stressed the need to make businesses, particularly small and micro enterprises, an even stronger driver of Morocco’s next phase of growth, in order to generate more value, create more jobs, and ensure that young people, women and all regions fully benefit from this momentum, the Confederation reported in a statement.
He reviewed five major priorities for the Confederation for this economic start of the year, namely accelerating private investment and developing the national industrial base, strengthening competitiveness and moving up the value chain, providing stronger support for small and micro enterprises, developing employment and skills, as well as the internationalization of Moroccan companies and the diversification of their export markets.
The CGEM chief also noted that this economic start of the year comes at a pivotal moment for Morocco, ahead of the legislative elections scheduled for September 23, stressing that several socio-economic issues are central to the electoral campaign.
He also indicated that the Confederation is working on the levers to be activated with the next government, as part of a constructive and responsible dialogue. The aim is to consolidate the progress made by Morocco under the Leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and to open a new phase of growth.
During this board meeting, and in accordance with the Bylaws and Internal Regulations, board members completed the CGEM’s governance structure.
The CGEM’s 22 thematic commissions will carry forward the issues at the heart of the 2026-2029 term’s program to the Confederation’s Presidency.
