Background 

Facing the challenges of an evolving global economy, the National Pact for Industrial Emergence aims to build a strong industrial sector and create a virtuous circle of growth.

The state and the private sector have sealed this covenant by signing a contract program covering the period 2009-2015. By consolidating into one document their mutual commitments, partners bring to all investors the necessary visibility on the changes of the future Moroccan industry. This contractual formula also guarantees the proper execution of measures agreed upon, by ensuring the involvement of all parties concerned, around specific, concrete, concerted and budgeted actions.
