Top List of Banks in Morocco
Morocco's economic performance has improved since the early 1990s, and the outlook for 2000, 2001, and beyond is equally promising. The financial sector has been an essential source of strength in Morocco's economic transformation, bringing stability and growth to the country by mobilizing domestic savings, improving access to credit, and reducing the cost of borrowing. This has increased the number of services provided by all banks, including development banks. The leading indicators show sustained growth in terms of financial inclusion.
The finance and banking industry in Morocco is regulated by the Bank Al-Maghrib, the central bank of Morocco. The foundation of the sector was, thus, established by the various laws enacted by this authority, including the new Bank Act. Here are some banks making moves in Morocco.
