What a wonderful pleasure to celebrate Christmas and the New Year 2026 with the MIDEL Board members.
It was a valuable moment to review the achievements and challenges of 2025, exchange insights on the evolving economic landscape, and align on our shared priorities and shaping our joint strategy, plan and vision for 2026.

Together, we keep working for a stronger economy and a brighter future for all .
