Addressing the 4th economic symposium, organized in Geneva by the Switzerland-Morocco Foundation for Sustainable Development (SMFD), Hilale underlined that these choices enabled Morocco to achieve a 4.5 % growth rate in 2009 and led the International Monetary Fund to forecast a 4% growth rate for Morocco in 2010.

    The Moroccan diplomat added that this economic performance is supported by many reform projects, the most recent of which is the justice reform, which reflects Morocco's conviction that good economic governance, notably in business, is based on fundamental justice and the promotion of the rule of law.

     He went on to say that Morocco's ambition, notably since obtaining an Advanced Status in its relations with the European Union, is to provide more economic transparency, business confidence and investment security for all its business partners.      

    Morocco is committed to sustainable and human development, both at the international scene and the UN, through reinforcing democratic choices and major socio-economic reforms at the national level, with a view to establishing a modern and democratic Moroccan society that respects the environment.
