The European Investment Bank investment talks with Morocco are set to advance financial and development cooperation as EIB President Nadia Calvi\u00f1o prepares for an official visit from June 29 to July 1. The visit aims to deepen collaboration between the European Union and Morocco while supporting major infrastructure and climate resilience projects.<\/p>\n
During her stay, Calvi\u00f1o will meet Moroccan government officials responsible for economic and financial affairs, along with representatives from diplomatic and financial institutions. The discussions will focus on the future of cooperation between Morocco and the European Union and on expanding the impact of EIB financing across the country.<\/p>\n
A central event of the visit will be a high-level meeting with Morocco\u2019s Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah Alaoui. The meeting coincides with two milestones: two decades of EIB operations in Morocco and nearly fifty years of partnership between the bank and the country. Both sides are expected to review previous achievements and identify new priorities for investment and development.<\/p>\n
The European Investment Bank said resilient infrastructure and sustainable transport will be key topics during the visit. Two major financing agreements backed by European Union guarantees are expected to be signed. The projects are designed to improve transport network safety, strengthen infrastructure resilience, and help Morocco adapt to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n
Calvi\u00f1o will also visit a public school in Rabat to attend a musical performance by young participants in the Morocco 88 initiative. The visit reflects the bank\u2019s support for education and youth development programs in the country.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the trip, Calvi\u00f1o described Morocco as a strategic partner for the institution and said the visit demonstrates renewed momentum in relations between the European Union and Morocco. She emphasized the EIB\u2019s role in financing projects that benefit citizens and businesses while supporting sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n
The European Investment Bank remains one of Morocco\u2019s largest international lenders. Since beginning operations in the country, it has mobilized more than \u20ac12 billion, equivalent to around MAD 132 billion. Funding has supported sectors such as small and medium-sized enterprises, renewable energy, education, transport, healthcare, water management, and sanitation.<\/p>\n
Owned by the 27 member states of the European Union, the EIB serves as the bloc\u2019s long-term lending institution. In 2025, it approved \u20ac100 billion in new financing for projects linked to climate action, digital innovation, infrastructure, security, and international partnerships.<\/p>\n
Its international branch, EIB Global, continues to expand cooperation outside the European Union. Morocco remains one of its key partners under broader initiatives such as the Global Gateway strategy, which seeks to strengthen investment and connectivity with partner countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
