International Finance Corporation (Morocco)

The Kingdom of Morocco was by no means immune to the popular displays of disaffection that swept the Middle East and North Africa in recent years.

But amid the regional turmoil, Morocco has embarked on a path to economic sustainability that can serve as an example to its neighbors.  

In the rapidly expanding tourism sector many job opportunities are being created. And micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are encouraging growth. 

Despite this, youth unemployment, a contributing factor to the unrest, remains high. An abundance of university graduates do not meet the needs of employers, so IFC is helping implement initiatives that furnish young people with relevant skills. 

What\\\'s more, the corporation works across the country to provide investment and advisory services that expand access to finance for MSMEs and entrepreneurs, improve infrastructure, and enable the private sector to take a lead in the economy.
