A WORD FROM
THE CHAIRMAN

This year should bear key assets to
boost the economic gears through: A confirmation of Morocco's regional
integration, particularly with its return to the
African Union, consolidating the
development of sustainable activities in
Africa.
This context calls for independent investment
banks to fully play their role in this
momentum, efficiently making the link
between entrepreneurs and capital, but also
between companies and
opportunities and between
investment
development
savers and
