Aslimani made public remarks about the significance of the event and about the context the city is facing, marked by the recent border crisis.

In his remarks, Aslimani said the royal visit sends a clear signal of political and symbolic integration. He reiterated that confirming that institutional framework is relevant for residents and companies alike.

Institutional backing for economic recovery and investor confidence

Aslimani argued that institutional support is a prerequisite to “consolidate economic recovery, strengthen investor confidence and foster the stability necessary for the development of companies.” In his statement he explicitly linked the role of the Crown to the expectations of stability demanded by local economic operators.

He mentioned the joint effort between authorities and economic actors to recover activity and ensure conditions that attract private investment. BetOnCeuta, he said, considers coordination between administrations and the business fabric indispensable to sustain the recovery.

Explicit acknowledgements to local authorities and bodies

Aslimani acknowledged “the work of the Regional Minister for Finance, Economic Transition and Digital Transformation, Kissy Chandiramani,” and also named “Enrique Reyes Rodríguez” among the figures who have participated in support initiatives. He also highlighted the collaboration of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the effort of companies and self-employed workers to boost local economic activity.

The president of BetOnCeuta presented those acknowledgements within the framework of the official reception, aiming to highlight both the institutional response and the private sector’s capacity for initiative in Ceuta.

BetOnCeuta’s commitment to Ceuta’s socioeconomic development

BetOnCeuta reiterated its commitment to the city’s socioeconomic development, which the company structures around four priorities: job creation, talent attraction, international projection and consolidating the enclave as a business platform linked to Spain and Europe.

Institutional context and expectations for the business community
