Morocco is trying to win over more international investors and it took its message straight to the City of London.
The Morocco Capital Markets Days event took place on 7 and 8 May and brought together nearly 200 investors and company leaders. The aim was to show that Morocco is ready to attract bigger global investment after regaining investment-grade status.
Finance Minister Nadia Fettah Alaoui opened the main conference, which focused on turning this improved credit rating into faster economic growth.
The Moroccan stock market is now worth more than $100bn for the first time. A futures market and a central clearing system have been launched to make trading easier and safer. Three recent stock market listings raised more than $600m.
The event also focused on direct meetings. Executives from 40 Moroccan listed companies held about 220 one-to-one meetings with international fund managers to attract funding for expansion at home and abroad.
A ceremony at the London Stock Exchange Group confirmed a long-running partnership with the Casablanca Stock Exchange. Workshops with Bloomberg, the International Accounting Standards Board and Fitch Ratings looked at trading tools, reporting rules and credit ratings.
By late 2025, the Casablanca exchange listed 80 companies with a total value of 1,041bn dirhams. London event shows Morocco is becoming a more credible and attractive market for global investors.
