The Mediterranean Growth Initiative and its mgi.online platform will celebrate its 9th anniversary in 2024.

We are committed to our vision of presenting evidence-based analysis for the region’s potential in regional, global trade, and,security.

The strength of the Mediterranean lies in its diversity and this applies to its market risk profile as well.

Our MedTrends series takes a closer look at the data to explore the trade profile of the region.  Mediterranean countries continue to be more extroverted; they engage more in trade with countries outside the region rather than with their neighbours. The potential of the Mediterranean as an interconnected value chain remains untapped.

Climate Change action is reshaping the focus of financial institutions and investors. Eventually climate change will transform the future of the Mediterranean. Given its rich renewable energy resources,  and as Europe’s frontline to Africa, the region stands to become a major contributor to the EU’s climate targets. For this to happen though, intra Mediterranean connectivity must be enhanced and intra-regional trade and governance boosted. The national has to become regional in outlook, institutions, and investment. 

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I thank our supporters and partners who share the vision of a connected Mediterranean. We are looking forward to welcoming new possibilities to promote intra-regional business and investment opportunities for a sustainable future for us all. The Mediterranean region must become a connected, productive region, building on its diversity, culture and geographic location, connecting East and West.
