Morocco seeks Saudi financial support for its investment fund | Reuters
Morocco invited Saudi Arabia on Thursday to contribute to a fund to spur investments, seeking economic gains from its close political alliance with the Gulf monarchy.
The Moroccan economy is expected to slow to 1.5% this year from 7.9% last year on the back of drought and imported inflationary pressures.
"We invite relevant bodies in Saudi Arabia to support Morocco's large-scale reforms and priority development projects," Foreign Ninister Nasser Bourita said at the opening session of a joint Moroccan-Saudi committee on bilateral cooperation.
He urged Saudi Arabia in particular to contribute to Morocco's planned $4.5 billion investment fund that aims to boost its post-pandemic economic recovery.
