Everything that makes Switzerland famous – quality, innovation, expertise, aesthetics, but also its diversity and its human and caring dimension – are all assets to be showcased. And it is in this spirit of openness that the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco wishes to bring together all the activities of the Swiss in Morocco. The economy is at the heart of our actions, but the Swiss presence is all the stronger when it is expressed in other fields: cultural, social, humanitarian. It is to bring together all these dynamics that, as announced last January, we have produced a directory of the Swiss presence in Morocco, across all sectors.
This desire for openness will also be reflected in the events organised by the Chamber. Alongside business subjects, the themes will cover more personal spheres. This was indeed the case on 16 January, at the first conference open to the general public on the automatic exchange of banking information for foreigners in Morocco. The aim of the event, covered in detail in this issue of Swisseco, was to inform the expatriate community, in particular the Swiss community, and raise its awareness of this new tax framework. Meetings of the same kind will be organised again in the future, in order to support and serve the entire Swiss community in Morocco as well as possible.
Happy reading to all,
Sami ZERELLI
President of the CCSM
