First published in 2004, AmCham is proud to present the second edition of the AmCham Morocco Trade and Investment Guide published in 2007, which is geared towards U.S. businesspeople with little or no knowledge of the Moroccan market. The pocket-sized guide offers a factual overview of the Moroccan economy, business environment, and leading sectors, in a bid to gain the attention of potential traders and investors who are currently unaware of the market potential. The bulk of research for the publication was carried out by a Rabat-based communications agency, CLE Etudes, which was also responsible for the graphic design and advertising.

Highlights of the AmCham Morocco Trade and Investment Guide, which can be downloaded free of charge from the official FTA web site (www.moroccousafta.com), are as follows:

•    Profile of Morocco
