I also call for the creation of a special mechanism to be tasked with accompanying these Moroccan experts and talents abroad and supporting their initiatives and projects.
This will make it possible to identify expatriate Moroccans with competencies, to stay in touch with them on a continuous basis, and to inform them of their country’s potential, including the current development and investment dynamic.
In this regard, I call once again on Moroccan youth and on project holders residing abroad to make the most of the numerous investment opportunities in Morocco, as well as the incentives and guarantees offered by the new investment charter.
For their part, public institutions and the national finance and corporate sector are invited to open up to investors from the expatriate community, and to adopt, to this end, effective mechanisms to sponsor, accompany and partner with Moroccans residing abroad, for the benefit of all.

To strengthen the bonds linking our expatriate community to the homeland, I have decided that the mechanisms used in managing the affairs of Moroccans residing abroad should be revisited.
This will be achieved by restructuring the institutions concerned with our community abroad to make sure there is no overlap of powers and no dispersion of actors, and to see to it that the new needs of our expatriate community are met.
With that in mind, I have asked the government to ensure a restructuring of the institutional framework, based on two main bodies:
- The first one is the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad; this independent constitutional institution must play its role in full as a platform for reflection and for making proposals, ensuring that all components of our expatriate community are duly represented…
- The second one concerns the establishment of a special body, to be called the “Mohammadia Foundation for Moroccans Residing Abroad”; it will serve as the executive arm for the implementation of public policy in this regard.
…The new institution will also manage the “National Mechanism for Mobilizing Moroccan Skills Abroad”, which I called for and which should be front and centre in the institution’s mission.
