The international investment status of Morocco has recorded an increase, reaching 746.7 billion dirhams by the end of March 2025, compared to 693.1 billion dirhams reported at the end of December 2024, according to the Office des Changes.
This rise is primarily attributed to a growth in total financial liabilities amounting to 52.4 billion dirhams, along with a slight decline in financial assets by 1.2 billion dirhams.
The increase in financial liabilities is a result of a significant rise in the balance of “foreign direct investments,” which increased by 54.1 billion dirhams, in addition to the balance of “portfolio investments,” which rose by 2.6 billion dirhams, while the balance of “other investments” decreased by 4.3 billion dirhams.
As for financial assets, they too underwent varying changes, with an increase in the balance of “portfolio investments” by 2.4 billion dirhams and “other investments” by 1.1 billion dirhams, whereas the kingdom’s reserve assets fell by 4.6 billion dirhams, adversely impacting the total assets.
These indicators reflect an increasing exposure of the Moroccan economy to external influences, which, according to observers, necessitates renewed measures to regulate capital flows and strengthen financial reserves to counter potential international fluctuations.
