US State Department highlights assets making of Morocco a foreign investments magnet – The North Africa Post
The US State Department has highlighted the assets that make of Morocco a magnet for foreign investments, such as its positive macro-economic policies, trade liberalization, and structural reforms. “Morocco actively encourages and facilitates foreign investment, particularly in export sectors like manufacturing, through positive macro-economic policies, trade liberalization, investment incentives, and structural reforms,” said the US State Department in its “2024 Investment Climate Statements” published Wednesday July 17. The Kingdom “implements strategies aimed at boosting employment, attracting foreign investment, and raising performance and output, designating renewables, automotive, aeronautics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, outsourcing, and agro-industry as key industries,” the report added. In February 2023, Morocco was removed from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “grey list” following a series of reforms to strengthen its anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing legislation, regulations, and criminal penalties, the US State department stressed. The Investment Climate Statements by the Department of State help U.S. companies make informed business decisions by providing up-to-date information on the investment climates of more than 165 countries and economies.

Extended holiday? Invasive European green crabs find new home in the Gulf of Maine
This includes microscopic plants, animals, and larval stages of larger animals such as the European green crab. It appears over the last 30 years, the lobstermen and green crabs have adapted to this new environment. Now, back to the interaction between green crabs and Asian shore crabs. The green crabs avoid the shore crabs, and the shore crabs aggressively attack the other crabs. It wouldn’t surprise me if the European green crabs were being chased north by the extremely aggressive Asian shore crabs.

WATRA calls for action on infrastructure sharing in West Africa
The West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly (WATRA), which as its name implies, brings together the region’s telecommunications and ICT regulators, is apparently hoping to encourage infrastructure sharing to lower the cost of internet access in West Africa. However, as Aboki pointed out, lack of interconnectivity is another issue driving up the cost of telecom services in the sub-region. As online resource Nairametrics notes, increasing internet penetration, mobile connectivity, and a tech-savvy youth population have led to rapid growth in West Africa’s digital economy. WATRA figures suggest that the digital economy currently contributes around US$30 billion annually to the region’s GDP. However, the cost of internet access across West African countries is still high.
