Rubble is seen in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake, in Amizmiz, Morocco September 16, 2023. REUTERSPIX: The Institute of International Finance said on Monday it would still hold its annual membership meeting in Marrakech on Oct 12-14, following the World Bank and International Monetary Fund decision to stick to their own Morocco meeting plans after a devastating Sept 8 earthquake.
The group said it will offer its members opportunities to support local vendors and artisans in the Marrakech community and donate to World Central Kitchen’s relief efforts in Morocco, its designated charity for the meetings. Marrakech suffered some damage in its ancient Medina quarter, but more modern parts of the city, including hotels and the IMF-World Bank venue, are intact. The IMF, World Bank and IIF meetings are jointly expected to bring more than 10,000 people to Marrakech.
