Green Light for Ayrad and CIMR to Enter CMT's Capital

Morocco's Competition Council has approved the joint takeover of Compagnie minière de Touissit (CMT) by Ayrad Group Limited and the Interprofessional Moroccan Pension Fund (CIMR). Authorized on July 13, 2026, the deal grants Ayrad an indirect 37.04% stake in CMT through the acquisition of OSEAD Fund for $130 million, while CIMR retains 16.12%. This new control structure will trigger a mandatory public buyout offer for remaining shares, pending approval from the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC). For Moroccan expats, this move strengthens mining investment in Morocco, potentially boosting employment and asset value. CMT, a lead and zinc mining company, may increase production under Ayrad's long-term development strategy. The operation also settles several legal disputes, providing corporate stability. Moroccan investors abroad should monitor this takeover bid, which could impact CMT's stock dynamics. CIMR's continued stake underscores its role as a key institutional investor.

RNI unveils 2026-2031 economic plan: what it means for Moroccans abroad

On July 15, RNI president Mohamed Chaouki presented to CGEM the main lines of his party's economic program for 2026-2031, titled 'Dignity and Opportunities for All'. The program is built on three major commitments and twelve operational measures, aiming to boost competitiveness of very small, small and medium enterprises (VSMEs), accelerate industrial upgrading, develop regions, and create jobs. CGEM emphasized the need for these reforms to support investment and growth. For Moroccan expats, these orientations could mean more investment opportunities in Morocco, simpler administrative procedures for diaspora entrepreneurs, and better support for return projects. RNI proposes measures to facilitate access to financing and improve the business climate, directly benefiting expats wishing to contribute to Morocco's economic development while valorizing their savings. Continued structural reforms, if implemented, could also enhance Morocco's attractiveness as an investment platform for Moroccan skills abroad. Key points include competitiveness of VSMEs, industrial upgrading, territorial development, and...

Rabat relaunches amphibious bus project on Bouregreg: 3rd tender for 25 million DH

Rabat Region Mobility has launched a third tender for two tourist amphibious buses on the Bouregreg River, following two failures in less than a year. The budget is set at 25 million dirhams, with bid opening scheduled for September 10, 2026. Each bus will carry 36 seated passengers. The first two months will be dedicated to feasibility studies and adapting access ramps at Salé Marina or the left bank. Manufacturing, testing, and delivery will take 18 months. The first tender, in November 2025, received a single bid from UK-based Seahorse Amphibious, which was rejected. The second tender, in February 2026, attracted no bidders. Estimated cost per bus is between €650,000 and €750,000 (7.2 to 8.3 million dirhams). For Moroccan expats, this project could become a must-see attraction when visiting Rabat-Salé, offering a unique land-and-water experience.
