The Confédération générale des entreprises du Maroc (CGEM) is Morocco’s leading private-sector employers’ organisation. Founded in 1947, it represents companies in tripartite social dialogue and federates a broad membership alongside dozens of sectoral federations.
Role
CGEM voices business priorities to government, negotiates national social agreements with unions and the state, and delivers support services to members (legal, tax, HR, international). It is involved in Morocco’s major economic programmes: industrial pacts, employment plans, the Investment Charter and the social-protection universalisation agenda.
Sectoral federations
CGEM brings together federations covering most of the Moroccan economy: automotive (AMICA), aerospace (GIMAS), textiles (AMITH), construction (FNBTP), banking and insurance, tourism, energy, digital (APEBI), agriculture and agri-food, trade and services.
Regional unions
Regional CGEM unions (Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma and others) relay the confederation on the ground and dialogue with Regional Investment Centres (CRIs) and provincial Walis.
