In 2025, Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) transferred nearly 120 billion dirhams to Morocco, according to data released during the International Day of Family Remittances. France leads as the top source country, accounting for about 31% of all flows, representing over €3.3 billion annually. 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.
These remittances play a vital role in Morocco's economy: they support household resilience, fund education, and enable income-generating activities, especially in rural areas. Speakers at the event also emphasized the importance of digitalization and financial inclusion to maximize the development impact of these funds.
For Moroccan expats in France, sending money home remains a crucial act. Use secure platforms, compare fees to ensure the highest amount reaches your family, and consider mobile banking solutions for fast and affordable transfers. Ambassador initiatives in 2026 aim to further modernize these financial channels, making them more accessible to all Moroccans abroad.
