H.E Ambassador Eric Giraud-Telme affirms the deep-rooted bilateral relations between France and Bahrain Manama: “I would like to commend the excellent bilateral relationships between our two countries and all those who contribute to the enhancement of our multifaceted cooperation. - On international affairs, France and Bahrain work hand in hand to contribute to the prosperity, stability and security of our nations in the respect of international law. It is paramount to rely on trustful partners like Bahrain in such challenging times. There is a more than ever urgent need to establish an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, to allow unimpeded humanitarian aid and, more broadly, to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East. We need to work hard to get back on the road to dialogue, political path, peace and prosperity. This is France’s commitment. In this respect I want to congratulate Bahrain for its successful presidency of the Arab League and its continuing diplomatic endeavours towards peace and stability. *”On a bilateral level, the relationships between France and Bahrain are deep-rooted and strong. Our cooperation has made a valuable contribution to our respective economies, together with the Team France in Bahrain - French Chamber of Commerce in Bahrain and the French councelors for trade. There is room for further developments as shown during two major events last spring,: the Choose France Summit on investments in Versailles and the ‘Vision Gulf event’ in Paris where the French and Gulf business communities showcased so many opportunities in trade and investment. A few days ago, a major partnership was signed between TotalEnergies and BapcoEnergies. We will build on it, and on other business opportunities, in a vast range of sectors, such as tourism, finance, logistics, energy, infrastructure, and more, and we will endeavour to connect even more our economies in the framework of the priorities set by His Majesty’s and His Royal Highness’s vision 2050.” Visit: timesofbahrain . . . . #timesofbahrain #investigation #localnews #gulfnews #worldnews ahdeya alsayed

Two recent economic reports suggest Morocco’s #economy is poised for stronger growth in 2025 after a moderate slowdown expected in 2024. Both the Moroccan High Commission for Planning (#HCP) and the World Bank project an acceleration of economic activity, though their forecasts differ slightly in magnitude. The HCP’s latest exploratory budget report anticipates #GDP growth of 3.7% in 2025, up from 3% projected for 2024. This rebound is primarily attributed to an expected recovery in the agricultural sector, with agricultural value added forecast to grow by 8.5% in 2025 after a 4.6% contraction in 2024. “Assuming that cereal production returns to normal levels in the subsequent years, it is projected that economic growth will pick up to 4 percent in 2025,” states the #WorldBank in its latest #Morocco Economic Monitor. https://lnkd.in/eZd-RfCs

Despite the growing interest of Arab media in African developments, journalists face significant challenges in covering the continent. One of the primary obstacles is gaining access to and building trust with African officials. Since Arabic is not an official language in most African governments, content produced in Arabic often does not receive the same level of attention as materials in other languages. Journalistic work focuses on pivotal topics in African affairs. From the complexities of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) to the ongoing Ethiopian civil war, and the evolving situation in Sudan, including the push for a civilian government, lifting of sanctions, and normalization with Israel, my articles delve into these significant developments. Moreover, discussing African affairs requires a deep understanding and explanation of the historical and cultural contexts, which can be quite different from those in the Arab world. This complexity adds another layer of difficulty for Arab journalists striving to provide comprehensive and accurate coverage. I’ve covered various events in the Sahel region, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities faced by these nations Find out some of my articles: انسحاب القوات الأميركية من النيجر.. خطوة إفريقية أخرى نحو المعسكر الشرقي  https://asharq.co/wttvu "سابا سابا".. كينيا إلى احتجاجات جديدة تطالب بتنحي الرئيس https://asharq.co/gje8v "حكم تاريخي".. قضية جنوب إفريقيا ضد إسرائيل تحشد دعم "الجنوب العالمي" https://asharq.co/975ja صراع إقليم تيجراي.. أزمة سياسية تنذر بحرب أهلية في إثيوبيا https://asharq.co/w8dvw  مآلات مفاوضات السلام بين الحكومة الإثيوبية وجيش تحرير أورومو https://asharq.co/jch2h فيلتمان: محاولات الانقلاب ستؤدي لإعادة النظر بالدعم الأميركي للسودان https://asharq.co/peeey  بعد تصعيد البوليساريو.. هل تشتعل الحرب في الصحراء؟ https://asharq.co/wcmzv  تشاد.. مخاوف من حرب أهلية وتحول البلاد وجهة للحركات "المتطرفة https://asharq.co/gzehm

Strengthening the US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement 🇲🇦 🇺🇸 The eighth session of the joint committee overseeing the US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement, recently held in Washington, highlighted the determination of both countries to strengthen their commercial partnership. This agreement, in effect since 2006, has significantly increased bilateral trade. In 2023, American exports to Morocco reached $3.496 billion, while Moroccan exports to the United States reached $1.6 billion, reflecting a substantial increase since the agreement's inception. Recent discussions focused on several key sectors, including agriculture, textiles, automotive, and investments. Morocco, represented by Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry and Trade, reiterated its strategic role as an economic partner and its commitment to facilitating market access for American companies. Bryant Trick, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative, emphasized the importance of this agreement in supporting ongoing economic and political reforms in Morocco, as well as enhancing commercial opportunities for American exports. One of the priorities discussed was the improvement of customs cooperation and the elimination of technical trade barriers, along with the implementation of sanitary and phytosanitary measures to facilitate agricultural trade. The 2024 trade report also highlighted persistent barriers and called for reforms to maximize the benefits of the commercial partnership. This partnership, which continues to strengthen, plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth and regional stability, with the United States designating Morocco as a major non-NATO ally in 2004. Both countries work closely on security, sustainable development, and counterterrorism, consolidating their historic bilateral relations. Here we are: A conversation with Minister of Industry and Trade of Morocco Ryad Mezzour Thank you Sarah Zaaimi and Atlantic Council for this amazing event.

Tunisia's weak economic performance compounded by late data releases: #Tunisia’s political system is still deeply compromised, but the #economy is showing some signs of minimal recovery. However, one area that is contributing to the inability of decision makers to react to changes and challenges in the economy is the time it takes for economic data to be released. For example, it is only now, May 2024, that we learned that banks showed cumulative profits of 1.474 billion dinars in 2023, compared to 1.263 billion in 2022. The data does not include STB, CitiBank, BFPME and BTL, which strangely have not yet published their results. While the news is positive, with banks showing double-digit growth in profits, the fact that it took months to generate partial data is a big problem for business operators and policy makers. Likewise, the government only announced recently that the state budget managed a surplus of 1.3 billion dinars (about US$417 million) at the end of 2023, down from 1.4 billion dinars at the end of March 2023. Again these figures released months after the fiscal period ended is indicative of a poorly tracked economy. Source page: https://lnkd.in/eKxvGnc6
