Casablanca: “The Moroccan financial sector is not only resilient, it is also solid and sets the standard on the African continent,” Brou noted in an interview with MAP as part of the 5th Africa Financial Summit (AFIS), held on November 3-4, 2025, in Casablanca, under the theme “Our capital, our power: unlocking Africa’s financial power.”

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the official highlighted that this sector, at the forefront of financial innovation not only in Africa but also internationally, is achieving remarkable performance supporting the Kingdom’s economic development. “The insurance, pension fund, and fintech sectors also contribute positively to the overall support and resilience of the financial sector as a whole,” he said.

In addition, Brou praised Morocco’s economic performance, which shows solid growth and control of the inflation rate. “Whenever we arrive in Casablanca, we witness how much the city is changing. We also see the vitality of an open economy, something we are proud and happy about,” he said, adding that Casablanca has turned into a true continental hub and an African financial capital.

With regards to the cooperation between the BCEAO and Bank Al Maghrib (BAM), Brou described the ties between the two institutions as “solid,” based on mutually beneficial cooperation. “Since the signing of our first agreement in 2013, our teams have been in regular contact on monetary policy, financial stability, and banking supervision,” he said, noting that this collaboration has gradually expanded to new areas, including digitalization, financial inclusion, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digital currency.

This collaboration is also reinforced by the strong presence of three Moroccan banking institutions within the West African Monetary Union (WAMU), namely Attijariwafa Bank, Bank of Africa, and the BCP Group, which boast a total of nearly 25 subsidiaries in the eight countries of the Union and play a key role in financing economic activity, Brou added.
