- Towards the creation of 16,800 jobs.
- Industry still leads in investments.
Investment projects approved during the first half of 2012 by the Regional Investment Center (CRI) of Chaouia-Ouardigha were mainly in the industrial sector. This sector leads with 55% of approved projects, followed by the construction sector (27%) and then the tourism sector (14% of the total).
In terms of investment amount and planned jobs, projects approved in the industrial sector still account for the largest share, with just over 1.2 billion DH (51% of the total approved) and approximately 9,000 planned jobs (91% of the total planned). In second place, projects approved in the construction sector attract 1 billion DH but represent only 4% of the total planned jobs. As for projects in the tourism sector, they are weakly represented in the balance sheet of projects approved this semester, as they contribute only 6% to the overall investment amount and 5% to the number of planned jobs.
During this period, the CRI contributed to the creation of 159 businesses, the issuance of 265 negative certificates jointly prepared by the CRI and the provincial delegation of Trade and Industry of Settat, and the processing of 83 projects submitted under the "Moukawalati" program.
In addition, during this semester, the CRI processed internally 58 investment projects, which were then examined by the regional investment commission. These projects represent a total investment amount of approximately 6.3 billion DH and plan to create 16,800 jobs. The total land area planned for the implementation of these projects is approximately 1,055 ha. Of these processed projects, 22 projects were approved, or 38%, with a total investment amount of approximately 2.4 billion DH (38% of the total volume), and nearly 9,900 planned jobs (59% of the total planned workforce). These projects plan to mobilize a total land area of approximately 528 hectares, or 50% of the total area presented in the projects processed this semester. Regarding foreign investments approved during this semester, they are represented by a single project carried by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Morocco. It concerns the creation of a multi-service industrial park. This project, which contributes 9% to the volume of investments approved during this semester, or 218 million DH, plans to create 8,000 jobs, or approximately 80% of the planned job opportunities.
During the first half of 2012, the assistance desk proceeded to the creation of 159 businesses. These creations mainly concern legal entities, with 73% of the businesses created, or 116 businesses, represented almost entirely by the Sarl legal form. As for businesses related to natural persons, they constitute 27% of the creations registered during this semester, or 43 businesses created. These new businesses plan to create approximately 3,700 direct and stable jobs mainly concentrated in the service and construction sectors, with 42% and 39% respectively.
Moukawalati
During the first half of 2012, the CRI processed, within the regional commission responsible for examining projects under the "Moukawalati" program, 83 projects, of which 66 were selected, or 79.5%. Compared to the objectives set for this program for the year 2012 at the level of the Chaouia-Ouardigha region (selection of 70 projects), the results achieved in the first half of this year exceeded 94% of the expected objectives.
