Akhannouch Presents Investment Results: 340 Billion Dirhams and a New Charter to Stimulate Enterprises
The head of government, Aziz Akhannouch, stated that public investment in Morocco has risen to unprecedented levels in recent years, reaching 340 billion dirhams for the year 2025, compared to 230 billion dirhams in 2021. During a monthly accountability session in the House of Advisors, Akhannouch explained that this investment effort aims to support major projects and sectoral strategies, as well as to encourage high-value private investments in vital areas such as the automotive industry, batteries, renewable energy, and future professions.
The government has approved a new investment charter that includes various grants:
– A grant for the creation of permanent jobs for projects that create 150 jobs or invest 50 million dirhams or more.
– A sectoral grant aimed at promising industries.
– A regional grant that encourages investment in less benefiting areas.
The head of government confirmed that this charter comes after a two-decade hiatus, during which the number of approved investment projects did not surpass an average of 39 projects annually before 2021.
Regulatory texts for financing small and medium enterprises, which provide more than 80% of jobs in the structured sector, have also been approved.
Akhannouch emphasized that the government is committed to completing the legal framework for investment while enhancing the roadmap to improve the business climate and promoting digitization through the implementation of the “Digital Morocco 2030” strategy.
