Italy to enhance industrial investment in Morocco

The Rome-based Italian Institute of Foreign Trade and the Moroccan Office For Industrial Development will sign shortly here an accord for the promotion and draining of Italian industrial investments to Morocco.

The accord will be signed this weekend during the three-day work visit that the head of the Italian institute is to pay to Morocco as of this January 22.

The Italian governmental institute -- which has twenty offices in Italy and 85 branches abroad -- sees to the development of Italian economic, commercial and industrial partnership with the rest of the world.

Morocco is Italy's 4th trade partner. Moroccan exports to Italy are composed mainly of fertilizers, fresh fish and garments while imports are made mostly of cars, machinery and industrial tools.
