Strengthening Business Support in Fès-Meknes
On Friday, June 5, 2026, a significant partnership agreement was signed in Fès between Banque Populaire Fès-Meknes and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) for the Fès-Meknes region. This collaboration aims to bolster the support offered to businesses in their investment, transformation, and development projects. The agreement was established during the regional phase of the third edition of the "Regional Investment Meetings" organized by the Central Group of Banque Populaire, reflecting a dynamic effort to enhance the alignment between financial and economic stakeholders, ultimately aimed at providing more effective assistance to project holders and companies in the region.
The partnership, signed by Idriss Belkhayat, the Vice President of CGEM for the Fès-Meknes region, and Abderrahmane Najoua, the Chairman of the Board of Directors at Banque Populaire Fès-Meknes, seeks to develop areas of integration and cooperation between the two entities. The overarching goal is to improve the support for enterprises in their investment and transformational initiatives. Furthermore, the agreement aims to foster the establishment and growth of companies, enhance financial inclusion, and expand access to banking services for very small enterprises by improving coordination between various support and financing mechanisms available to them.
In a statement to the Moroccan News Agency, Abderrahmane Najoua emphasized that this agreement strengthens an existing partnership between Banque Populaire Fès-Meknes and CGEM at the regional level. It is designed to solidify aspects of cooperation and integration to serve the local economic fabric. This agreement will enable better coordination of efforts, facilitate information exchange, and amplify the impact of initiatives directed toward businesses, customers, and partners, particularly in project support, structuring, and entrepreneurial initiatives.
Moreover, Najoua noted that this agreement aligns with the spirit of the "Regional Investment Meetings," which were designed as a platform for dialogue and exchange of experiences between public and private stakeholders concerning various available mechanisms, whether from the state or the Central Group of Banque Populaire. The objective is to facilitate the establishment, development, and realization of projects on the ground, including support for businesses in their export ventures.
