Morocco Set to Host the 58th Session of the UN Economic Commission and Financial Conference in 2026
In a momentous announcement last Friday, Morocco has been chosen to host the 58th session of the United Nations Economic Commission and the African finance conference in March 2026. This significant decision was made during a session of experts convened in Addis Ababa from March 12 to 18, as part of the 50th gathering of the African Economic Committee.
The unanimous agreement to hold this prominent conference in Morocco highlights the strong confidence member states have in the Kingdom’s capabilities and experience in organizing critical continental events. This choice reflects Morocco’s continuous commitment to fostering collaboration and driving economic and social development across Africa.
Under the theme “Growth for Innovation: Exploiting Advanced Data and Technologies to Serve Economic Transformation in Africa,” the 58th session aims to unveil new strategies for economic progress in line with current global trends. Morocco’s selection showcases its determination to contribute effectively to collective efforts aimed at sustainable growth and development throughout the continent.
This isn’t the first time Morocco has taken the helm in such significant initiatives. Just last Wednesday, during the same conference in Addis Ababa, the Kingdom was unanimously elected to lead the ongoing 57th session of the UN Economic Committee and the African finance conference. This demonstrates Morocco’s active role and leadership in promoting dynamic economic governance in Africa.
As the host, Morocco is poised to leverage its organizational skills to ensure that the conference meets its goals and addresses the pressing economic challenges faced by African nations. The focus on innovation and technology during the event underscores the importance of adapting to the evolving economic landscape, particularly in a post-pandemic world.
The convening of this conference in Morocco presents a tremendous opportunity for African nations to share insights, explore collaborative pathways, and forge stronger economic ties. The Kingdom’s commitment to enhancing African cooperation is a testament to its vision of a more integrated and thriving continent.
As we look ahead to March 2026, the excitement for this gathering is palpable, and it represents a pivotal moment for African nations to focus on unity and innovative solutions for the continent’s future.
