On November 1, 2024, Banque Centrale Populaire (BCP) announced an upcoming board meeting to officially appoint Naziha Belkeziz as the new CEO and Chair of the bank’s Board of Directors, following the retirement of current CEO Mohamed Karim Mounir. Scheduled for November 5, this board meeting will mark a significant transition as Mounir steps down, closing a notable chapter in his career.

The agenda for the meeting includes acknowledging Mounir’s resignation as both Board Member and CEO, and moving forward with the nomination of Naziha Belkeziz. Once confirmed, Belkeziz will also assume the presidency of Crédit Populaire du Maroc’s Executive Committee, cementing her leadership within Morocco’s financial sector.

This transition comes at a time when BCP is focusing on strengthening its strategic initiatives and expanding its influence within Morocco’s banking industry. Belkeziz’s appointment is expected to bring fresh direction to the organization as she steps into one of the country’s most prominent banking roles.
