 He recalled the growing number of international companies operating in important sectors as the aeronautics and finances which chose Morocco to broaden the scope of their activities, noting that these multinationals are encouraged by infrastructure made available for them such as the Casablanca aeronautics free zone "Midparc" and the "Casablanca Finance City". 

 Siouffi, also CEO of the Citibank Maghreb, underlined that Morocco adopted concrete measures to boost and protect investment, adding that this approach favored an openness on the world and a modern institutional reorganization.

 He also noted that Morocco, which boasts economic assets and a strategic geographical location, is an attractive platform for US businesses wishing to explore the African and European markets.
