Morocco and the African Development Bank are consolidating their partnership following high-level discussions in Abidjan that showcased significant Moroccan participation. Finance and Economy Minister Nadia Fettah attended the inaugural Strategic Dialogue of the African Development Bank, a premier platform for exchanges among African decision-makers, particularly finance and economy ministers. The first edition focused on domestic resource mobilization, bringing together fifteen African countries to share best practices and ongoing reforms in this strategic domain. The minister highlighted Morocco’s progressive reform approach covering major state taxes including income tax, corporate tax, and value-added tax. Regarding the AfDB’s role in promoting best practices for resource mobilization, Fettah stressed its vocation as an aggregator and catalyst for initiatives already launched continentally under African tax and customs administrations’ supervision.
