Morocco’s Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG) is setting an impressive investment goal of nearly 4.9 billion dirhams ($475 million USD) for 2025 as part of its ambitious CAP 2030 strategy, designed to redefine Morocco’s socio-economic landscape over the coming decade. CDG’s planned outlay for 2025 builds on previous years’ investments, including 3.4 billion dirhams in 2023 and a projected 5.46 billion in 2024. The plan gradually scales down to 2.7 billion in 2026 and 2.8 billion in 2027 as strategic projects unfold.
CDG’s CAP 2030 strategy is built on four core pillars: redefining its position in the financial sector, exploring new investment domains, enhancing operational tools, and restructuring its traditional portfolio to energize resources. This broad vision encompasses diverse sectors such as water management, energy efficiency, food security, and high-speed internet infrastructure. Additionally, CDG will continue its historical focus areas, including rental real estate, economic activity zones, and venture capital.
One of CAP 2030’s critical elements is preparing infrastructure for the 2030 World Cup, for which Morocco is a host candidate. CDG’s investments in this area include partnerships aimed at upgrading facilities and expanding services across Morocco, aligning the nation’s infrastructure with the demands of hosting a world-class sporting event.
Key sectors targeted by CAP 2030
- Emerging Sectors: CDG’s shift toward high-impact sectors reflects Morocco’s growing emphasis on sustainability and economic resilience. By investing in water security, energy efficiency, food sovereignty, and digital infrastructure, CDG is aligning its goals with Morocco’s broader environmental and socio-economic priorities.
- Traditional Investments: In addition to new sectors, CDG will continue bolstering established domains. Investments in rental real estate and economic activity zones are set to grow, while strategic real estate development and venture capital projects will expand Morocco’s business ecosystem.
- 2030 World Cup Infrastructure: Preparing for the World Cup, CDG has already begun entering strategic partnerships aimed at strengthening Morocco’s stadiums, transportation networks, and hospitality services. These upgrades are expected to not only enhance Morocco’s hosting capabilities but also contribute to long-term tourism and economic growth.
Financial outlook: Projected profit and social impact
From a financial perspective, CDG anticipates steady profitability over the next few years. Forecasted net income for 2025 is set at 1.79 billion dirhams, decreasing to 1.02 billion in 2026 and 746 million in 2027 as the group continues its strategic shift and project maturation. This trajectory reflects CDG’s commitment to balanced growth, combining financial prudence with high-impact investments across Morocco’s priority sectors.
As CDG moves forward with CAP 2030, its extensive investment plan signals a long-term commitment to Morocco’s sustainable development, from environmental responsibility to digital transformation. The group’s bold investments in both emerging sectors and World Cup infrastructure reinforce Morocco’s standing as a competitive and innovative hub, positioning the country as a model of sustainable and inclusive growth on the African continent.
