For a Sustainable Euro-Mediterranean region of vitality in a world of fragility

We are living a time of great instability in the Mediterranean region, compounded by a pandemic with severe economic and social impacts. The region’s economic growth falters, current account and fiscal balances are deteriorating and public debt is projected to rise significantly. Inequality is high, aggravating fragility and conflict. The war in Ukraine has pushed up fuel and food prices. Inflation has increased substantially mainly due to rising global prices.

What We’re All About

A new blueprint for the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership to build resilience and bring hope and prosperity to the Region.

The COVID19 pandemic offers a unique opportunity for countries in the region to rethink supply chain and strengthen trade and regional integration in order to balance efficiency with resilience. Trade and integration — within the EuroMed region and with Africa can provide an opportunity to enhance regional trade relations by establishing safe and resilient regional supply chains of essential, and non-essential goods and services in the post-COVID era, and unleash forces for Mediterranean dynamism and position the Med/Africa region as a global player.
