EIB President to Pay Official Visit to Morocco to Strengthen Strategic Partnership

The President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group, Nadia Calviño, will pay an official visit to Morocco from June 29 to July 1, 2026, as part of efforts to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the European financial institution and the Kingdom.

The visit coincides with the 20th anniversary of the EIB’s presence in Morocco and nearly five decades of cooperation with the country. During her stay, Calviño will meet with senior government officials, representatives of the diplomatic and financial communities, visit EIB-funded projects, and announce new initiatives.

A key highlight of the visit will be a high-level discussion with Morocco’s Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah, focusing on the achievements of the Morocco-EIB partnership and future opportunities to increase the Bank’s impact as the European Union’s financing arm.

Supporting resilient infrastructure and sustainable transport will be at the heart of the visit. The EIB President is expected to announce the signing of two major EU-backed operations aimed at improving transport network resilience, enhancing safety, and accelerating adaptation to climate change.

Calviño will also visit a public school in Rabat to attend a musical performance organized under the “Morocco 88” project, highlighting the EIB’s commitment to education, youth, and human development.

Since launching its operations in Morocco, the European Investment Bank has mobilized more than €12 billion to finance projects in strategic sectors, including small and medium-sized enterprises, renewable energy, education, sustainable transport, healthcare, water, and sanitation.
