Morocco joins Swiss $5.1M fund with World Bank to boost financial systems

Morocco has been included in a World Bank-administered trust fund financed by Switzerland, aimed at strengthening financial systems in fifteen countries. The fund, worth 4.65 million Swiss francs (approximately $5.1 million), focuses on improving financial inclusion, market depth, and sector resilience. For Moroccan expats, this is promising news: a stronger financial system in Morocco facilitates money transfers, access to remote banking services, and investments from abroad. The fund will support reforms to make the sector more efficient and inclusive, potentially leading to lower remittance fees and better financial products tailored to diaspora needs. The Swiss contribution will be paid in installments until 2028. Morocco joins countries like Egypt, Tunisia, and South Africa in this multilateral framework. This is not direct bilateral aid but technical and financial support to modernize Morocco's financial sector, including digital finance development and improved access to credit for small businesses.

Remittances from Moroccans Abroad: France accounts for nearly one third of flows to Morocco

In 2025, Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) transferred nearly 120 billion dirhams to Morocco, according to data released during the International Day of Family Remittances.

This was announced by Charles Thépault, Deputy Head of Mission at the French Embassy in Morocco, highlighting the strong human and economic ties between the two nations.
