Moroccan state-owned power utility ONEE has picked HSBC Middle East Limited as financial adviser for its plan to boost its imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), ONEE said in a statement.
It has also chosen the law firm Ashurst LLP as legal adviser for the same plan.
The HSBC contract is worth $7 million while Ashurst will earn around $2 million, the statement said.
