Rabat: All the necessary conditions are now in place for private investment to gradually take over from public investment and sustainably support Morocco’s economic growth beyond 2030, Governor of Bank Al-Maghrib Abdellatif Jouahri said on Tuesday in Rabat.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, speaking at a press briefing following the second quarterly meeting of Bank Al-Maghrib’s Board in 2026, Jouahri noted that while public investment efforts will continue to support growth in the coming years, the objective remains to see private investment play an increasingly important role in driving the national economy.
In this regard, he highlighted several mechanisms already in place, including the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) law, the new Investment Charter, the work of the Regional Investment Centers (CRIs), and territorial development programs aimed at reducing regional disparities.
The Governor also pointed out that investment by public enterprises is expected to remain strong over the coming years.
He cited the example of OCP Group, which continues to implement a major investment program and still has significant growth potential, particularly in emerging sectors such as green hydrogen.
To accelerate the mobilization of private investment, Jouahri announced that a meeting is being prepared between Bank Al-Maghrib, the Professional Group of Moroccan Banks (GPBM), the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Investment, and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises.
The meeting aims to explore ways to further strengthen private investment and identify measures that could enhance the productive sector’s contribution to economic growth.
Jouahri also stressed the importance of very small enterprises (VSEs), which account for more than 90% of Morocco’s business fabric. He recalled the initiatives recently launched in their favor and highlighted the expected role of the Mohammed VI Investment Fund in supporting private investment, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
and VSEs.
