Karim Zidane represents King Mohammed VI at the U.S.-Africa Business Summit
The Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Investment, Convergence, and the Evaluation of Public Policies, Karim Zidane, is representing King Mohammed VI at the 17th U.S.-Africa Business Summit, which opened on Monday in Luanda, Angola.
Zidane is leading a Moroccan delegation that includes senior officials and leaders from both the public and private sectors, such as the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), the National Railways Office (ONCF), the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), along with MEDZ, MARSA Maroc, and representatives from Moroccan banks.
Morocco's participation aims to showcase the country's ongoing economic reforms, particularly the implementation of its new Investment Charter, which seeks to boost the kingdom's attractiveness in key sectors such as renewable energy, automotive, aerospace, agro-industry, and green technologies.
In this spirit of partnership, Morocco is positioning itself as a key player in global value chains, drawing on its strong economic ties and sustainable partnership with the United States, reinforced by the Free Trade Agreement in place since 2006.
With over 1,500 participants—including heads of state, ministers, business leaders, and policymakers—the Summit serves as a major platform for economic dialogue and the development of lasting strategic partnerships between the United States and African nations.

Maroc Telecom Raises $300 Million in First Private Bond Issuance
Marrakech – Maroc Telecom has successfully completed its first private bond issuance on the Moroccan market, raising MAD 3 billion ($300 million) from institutional investors. The operation marks a key benchmark in the telecom giant's financial optimization strategy. The bond, structured as a private placement with a two-year maturity and in-fine repayment, was issued at a fixed rate of 2.37%, including a risk premium of 20 basis points. The strong interest from investors, as the company noted in its statement today, reflects confidence in Maroc Telecom's solid fundamentals and sustainable growth trajectory. The raised funds will serve two main purposes: proactively refinancing part of the company's existing debt and providing new financial flexibility to accelerate strategic investments. These investments will target key areas towards deploying 5G, expanding fiber optic, enhancing the customer experience, and developing innovative solutions for businesses. This financial operation is part of a broader revival and consolidation strategy, as the group reaffirms its ambition to play a driving role in Africa's digital transition. Present in eleven countries, Maroc Telecom remains a leading force in the telecommunications sector, with 53% of its shares owned by the Telecommunications Participation Company (SPT, controlled by Etisalat) and 22% by the Moroccan government. The bond issuance comes shortly after Maroc Telecom secured a long-term financing partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank Group subsidiary dedicated to the private sector. The agreement involves a total loan of €370 million (approximately MAD 3.7 billion) to support Maroc Telecom's subsidiaries in Chad and Mali. The IFC partnership aims to improve mobile connectivity and internet quality in these countries, supporting 4G service deployment and expanding internet access to more people and businesses. This aligns with the African Union's goal of building a secure single digital market in Africa by 2030. Maroc Telecom reported revenue of MAD 36.7 billion ($3.67 billion) last year, marking a 1.2% increase, with its Moov Africa subsidiaries showing 4.6% revenue growth. The group's African operations performed strongly across key segments, with mobile data growing by 15.6%, fixed internet by 21.1%, and Mobile Money services by 14.4%. In a related development, Maroc Telecom recently transitioned to a unified governance model, replacing its previous dual structure with a streamlined Board of Directors. Mohamed Benchaâboun, appointed in February, continues as CEO, leading the company through its digital transformation and innovation initiatives across Morocco and Africa.

'Marhaba': Morocco Prepares for Transit of 7.5 Million Passengers, 2 Million Vehicles via 13 Maritime Routes- Minister
The Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, announced on Monday at the House of Representatives that, in preparation for the 'Marhaba' operation, his department has taken a range of measures, in close coordination with all stakeholders, to ensure the transport of 7.5 million passengers and 2 million vehicles via 13 maritime routes. In response to a question on "transport fares across all modes," Kayouh stated that 29 ships have been mobilized, with a weekly capacity of 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles, distributed over 13 maritime lines, totaling 7.5 million travelers, 2 million vehicles, and 7,800 crossings. He added that authorizations have been granted to 59 airline companies to operate approximately 2,135 weekly flights between Moroccan airports and 141 international airports. Kayouh also noted that the Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has mobilized four additional aircraft for the summer period and will offer a total of 6.6 million seats- an increase of 700,000 seats compared to 2024- reflecting RAM's commitment and involvement in efforts to facilitate the return of Moroccans residing abroad. The minister recalled that, as part of its strategic choices, the Kingdom adopted the 'Open Sky' policy in 2006 - a decision that has paid off, with over 50 airline companies, including several low-cost carriers, now operating in Morocco and connecting the country to numerous destinations, mainly in Europe.

UNHCR Official Lauds Morocco's Humanist, Solidarity-Based Approach to Refugee Rights
The Representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Morocco, François Reybet-Degat, praised on Friday in Rabat Morocco's commitment to refugee rights, highlighting the Kingdom's humanist and solidarity-based approach in this area. Thanks to this approach, enshrined in the National Immigration and Asylum Strategy (NIAS) launched in 2013, Morocco has become both a transit and host country for asylum seekers, currently hosting 18,463 refugees and asylum seekers from more than 60 countries, noted Reybet-Degat during a press conference in Rabat held on the occasion of World Refugee Day. The Kingdom has established itself as a key player in managing migration flows in Africa and beyond, he emphasized, adding that the UNHCR works closely with Moroccan authorities to integrate refugees and asylum seekers into national education, healthcare, and employment systems. "Morocco embodies a tradition of hospitality and openness," stated the official, commending the efforts made to ensure the inclusion of refugees in national initiatives. On a global scale, Reybet-Degat noted that the number of forcibly displaced people has increased for the 13th consecutive year, reaching a record 123 million people, including 43 million refugees. This figure was 41 million in 2010 and has nearly tripled in just a decade, he pointed out. MAP: 20 June 2025
