Morocco’s net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows reached over MAD 9.15 billion by the end of March 2025, an increase of 63.6%, according to Karim Zidane, Minister Delegate in charge of Investment, Convergence, and Public Policy Evaluation, during a session Tuesday in the House of Councillors.
In response to oral questions on attracting foreign investment, Zidan highlighted that total FDI revenues reached MAD 12.97 billion, up 24.6%, noting that 2024 ranked as the second-best year in Morocco’s history in terms of FDI returns, reflecting growing international confidence in the national economy.
One key factor enhancing Morocco’s investment appeal, he noted, is the country’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force’s grey list, an achievement demonstrating its alignment with global standards and reinforcing trust among foreign investors.
The Minister emphasized that recent reforms in investment policy are beginning to yield tangible results. In 2024 alone, net FDI inflows surged to more than MAD 16.2 billion , up 52.5% from the previous year, while total investment revenue rose to MAD 43.8 billion, reflecting a 10% increase.
He reiterated the government’s strong commitment to promoting foreign investment as a cornerstone for boosting economic growth, enhancing national competitiveness, creating employment, and integrating Morocco further into global supply chains.
On the role of the Moroccan diaspora, Zidan said a targeted strategy is being implemented to strengthen their investment involvement, under the patronage of King Mohammed VI. These investments are considered part of the broader FDI ecosystem.
Efforts include improving communication with overseas Moroccans, showcasing available investment opportunities and incentives under the new Investment Charter, and organizing international promotional events.
The government is also reinforcing support services for diaspora investors through the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development and regional investment centers.
Also, a multilingual digital platform is being developed to provide accurate investment information, along with a dedicated unit to support the implementation of diaspora-led projects in Morocco.
