CASI and Bank of Africa Forge Green Finance Pact in Casablanca

Dr. Ma Jun, Chairman of CASI, opened the dialogue by challenging the traditional focus on carbon mitigation, advocating instead for a holistic development model that secures essential access to water, food, and energy. The forum underscored the necessity of China-Africa collaboration, particularly in leveraging clean technology and creating affordable financing pathways for emerging economies.

A central outcome of the gathering was the signing of three strategic Memorandums of Understanding between CASI and key regional players, including BANK OF AFRICA, The ESG Exchange, and the Casablanca Finance City Authority. These agreements establish a formal framework for professional certification, joint research, and cross-border knowledge exchange. To further bridge expertise gaps, the organization officially launched French-language training modules via the CASI Academy, specifically targeting francophone African markets. The event closed with a focus on AI-driven disclosure tools for small and medium-sized enterprises, setting the stage for the next forum in Hong Kong this September.
