Significant Growth in Fund Transfers from Moroccan Expatriates
As of the end of March 2026, fund transfers made by Moroccans residing abroad have soared to over 29.7 billion dirhams (MMDH), reflecting a notable increase from 26.62 billion dirhams during the same period last year. This remarkable growth of 11.7% year-on-year was reported by the Office des Changes in its latest bulletin detailing monthly indicators of foreign trade.
Positive Balances and Foreign Investments
The bulletin also highlighted a positive balance in the "Balance of Travel" category, which reached nearly 23.7 billion dirhams, marking a substantial rise of 31.4%. This positive balance stems from a significant increase in revenue, which rose by 23.5% to 31 billion dirhams, outpacing growth in expenditures, which saw a modest increase of 3.4% to 7.31 billion dirhams. In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI), net flows have seen a decrease of 8.3%, falling to 8.45 billion dirhams, attributed to declines in both revenues (-13.1%) and expenditures (-22.4%). Conversely, the net flow of Moroccan direct investments abroad has recorded a remarkable increase of 57.3%, exceeding 2.8 billion dirhams.
