Swisseco 21 Optimistic and realistic!

If we had to choose just one word to set the tone for the start of this year, it would undoubtedly be hope. Hope because, quite obviously, the first quarter and its forecasts lend themselves to it, even in a complex economic climate. Hope also because the health indicators seem to be improving. Hope above all because the vaccination campaign launched in Morocco is exemplary and bodes well for a more serene future.

At the Chamber, we are optimistic and realistic. That is why we are continuing our activities while remaining agile, in order to keep delivering an appropriate service to our members and, at the same time, work for bilateral relations. As announced, the thematic webinars organised in close collaboration with the Embassy are continuing, with a session in March dedicated to women’s access to financing.

At the same time, our project to set up targeted virtual or physical (as soon as possible) business visits in partnership with Switzerland Global Enterprise, S-GE, in order to present Morocco’s potential, is still, and ever more, relevant and should materialise very soon. The CCSM has already joined S-GE’s information and campaigns programme, which brings together many organisations around the world.

Finally, I am pleased to announce that the CCSM is in contact with cantonal Chambers of Commerce in Switzerland and regional Chambers of Commerce in Morocco, with a view to developing new partnerships.

Happy reading to all.

Christophe de Figueiredo, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco.
