According to a recent study by Infomineo, a firm specialising in business research in the Middle East and Africa region, Casablanca ranks 3rd among the most attractive cities for the establishment of foreign companies. The top 500 American companies by turnover (Fortune 500) favour Morocco’s economic capital, after Dubai and Johannesburg, for setting up their relay offices in the Middle East and North Africa region. Morocco’s openness to Europe and Africa, its long coastline, its political stability and its economic health make it a relevant choice for multinationals. Thirty-three of the 500 companies have already set up their regional subsidiaries on Moroccan soil, while 85 have a local branch there.
