Mehdi Tazi, the newly elected president of the Confédération Générale des Entreprises du Maroc (CGEM), held the first board meeting of his term on Monday, June 22, 2026, in Casablanca. During this meeting, he presented the members of his executive committee, who will work with him over the next three years to implement his program titled 'Entrepreneurs en mouvement.'
The committee includes several prominent figures from the Moroccan business community. Among them are vice presidents such as Mohamed Horani, Nadia Fassi Fehri, and Mohamed Benchaâboun. The team also features sector-specific representatives and regional coordinators, aiming to address key issues like economic recovery, digital transformation, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Tazi's election in May 2026 marked a new chapter for the CGEM, as he succeeded Chakib Alj. His program focuses on enhancing the competitiveness of Moroccan companies, promoting innovation, and strengthening the private sector's role in the national economy. The executive committee's composition reflects a balance between experienced leaders and new voices from various industries.
The CGEM, founded in 1947, is the main employer organization in Morocco, representing over 90,000 companies across all sectors. Tazi's leadership comes at a time when Morocco is navigating post-pandemic economic challenges and seeking to boost investment and job creation.
