Morocco has taken a step to better protect people’s money by bringing judges and market regulators closer together.
On Wednesday in Rabat, the High Council of the Judicial Power and the Moroccan Capital Market Authority signed a cooperation agreement to tighten oversight and improve how financial markets are monitored.
The deal was signed at the CSPJ headquarters by M’hammed Abdenabaoui and Tarik Senhaji, who lead the two institutions.
The aim is simple. Make markets safer, more transparent and more reliable for people who invest their savings. Officials say this matters more than ever as capital markets are playing a bigger role in funding the Moroccan economy.
The agreement sets up closer working ties between the two sides. They will share expertise, train judges and specialists, and work together on research linked to financial laws and market practices.
A big part of the plan focuses on training. This includes workshops on stock market crimes, money laundering and terrorist financing. These are areas where regulators and courts need to stay sharp as financial systems grow more complex.
They will also hold seminars on how technology is changing finance and what that means for the law. The goal is to better understand new risks and respond faster.
The two bodies will exchange reports, studies and research to improve how financial rules are understood and applied.
The CSPJ is responsible for overseeing the judiciary and making sure judges work independently and follow ethical standards.
The AMMC regulates Morocco’s capital markets. It works to ensure markets run properly and that people’s savings invested in financial products are protected.
