Of the two candidates in the running to succeed Miriam Bensalah at the head of the General Confederation of Enterprises of Morocco (CGEM), that of Salaheddine Mezouar is the most political, the most intriguing too.
In turn industrial, Minister of Commerce, Minister of Economy and Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Salaheddine Mezouar is one of the two candidates in the running for the presidency of the CGEM. With his running mate Fayçal Mekouar, vice-president of the employers, Mezouar share favorite against the duo formed by Hakim Marrakchi and Assia Aiouch Benhida.
Only downside, the former chairman of the political party RNI (National Rally of the Independents), a time approached at the prestigious position of governor of the Bank Al Maghrib, the Moroccan central bank, is likely to face a device of the rules of procedure of the CGEM .
Strangely ignored by the board of directors during its validation session on April 16th, the regulation stipulates that to be a candidate you must be at least a director of a company, member of the CGEM, over the three years preceding the vote.
This barrier crossed not without speculation, Mezouar who comes under the banner of the company Tips for Textile and Chemistry Morocco (which he became a director at the end of 2017) is the super favorite of the elections that will take place on May 22 and that ring already as an OPA of the RNI on the Moroccan private sector.
