Mrs. Nadia FETTAH, Minister of Economy and Finance, took part, on Friday 28 November 2025 in Rabat, in the closing ceremony of the sixth edition of the Africa Investment Forum (AIF).
On the occasion of this ceremony, which was held in the presence of the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group and several African ministers, Mrs. FETTAH delivered a closing address during which she expressed her thanks to the AfDB Group for the renewed confidence placed in the Kingdom to host this important continental event.
The Minister recalled the structuring role of the Africa Investment Forum in the development of the African continent, as a platform bringing together investors, project promoters and public decision-makers. She reaffirmed Morocco’s commitment, as an emerging country, to contribute to the rise of the African continent, in line with the enlightened Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, who makes the development of the Kingdom and that of Africa two inseparable dynamics.
For his part, the President of the AfDB indicated that the 2025 edition of the “Market Days” made it possible to gather more than 15.2 billion dollars in investment intentions in bankable projects, thus demonstrating the strong interest of investors in the considerable investment potential of the continent, through 39 projects in various sectors. He also specified that the challenge is now to convert these commitments into concrete achievements, recalling that nearly two-thirds of the boardrooms organized as part of AIF 2025 were devoted to strategic sectors where the AfDB and Morocco have recognized expertise, particularly energy and transport.
