Economic Competitiveness Support Program DPL

closed

This program document describes the First Economic Competitiveness Support Program Development Policy Loan (ECSP DPL I). The objective of the proposed program is to support policy reforms in three key areas of the Government's comprehensive economic strategy: the investment climate, trade policy and trade logistics, and economic governance. Over the past decade, Morocco has made good progress in carrying out business environment reforms, but the actual impact of these reforms, albeit positive, has been insufficient. Looking forward, the challenge will be in the implementation and coordination of all the policies that affect private sector development, investment and job creation. In this context, the ECSP programmatic DPL series is designed to support the reform of several key cross-cutting constraints that will favor greater competition between business stakeholders and more effective policies to spur competitiveness.
