By Caroline Ameh
The much-anticipated Africa Investment Forum Market Days are confirmed to proceed as scheduled, set to take place from the 8th to the 10th of November 2023 at the prestigious Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco. This determination comes in the wake of the tragic earthquake that shook the nation on the 8th of September 2023.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Moroccan government have been working tirelessly in close coordination to ensure the success of this vital investment event while concurrently prioritizing the ongoing reconstruction efforts necessitated by the earthquake’s aftermath.
The AfDB has committed its resources and expertise to assist the government in the ambitious task of rebuilding infrastructure in the affected communities.
In the face of adversity, the AfDB stands in unwavering solidarity with the Government and the resilient people of Morocco, offering commendation for their determination in the aftermath of the recent tragedy.
The institution extends its heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all those who lost loved ones and property in the earthquake.
The Africa Investment Forum Market Days have emerged as Africa’s premier investment marketplace, and this year marks the event’s 5th anniversary. It provides a unique platform that grants public and private investors access to a meticulously curated selection of projects from across the African continent.
According to a report disseminated by the APO Group on behalf of the AfDB, the Africa Investment Forum’s Market Days consistently draw over 2,000 participants from more than 50 countries, including institutional investors and prominent government representatives. Impressively, previous editions of the Africa Investment Forum Market Days have succeeded in attracting cumulative investment interest totaling an astounding $142.6 billion.
This event underscores Africa’s allure as an investment destination and underscores the African Development Bank’s enduring dedication to fostering economic growth and development within the region.
