Liquidity needs in Morocco’s banking sector widened in December 2025, with average weekly requirements rising to 135.7 billion dirhams, up from 129.1 billion dirhams a month earlier, Bank Al-Maghrib said.

In its monthly report on economic, monetary and financial conditions, the central bank said it increased total liquidity injections to 154.5 billion dirhams. This included 72.1 billion dirhams in seven-day advances, 47 billion dirhams through one- and three-month repurchase operations, and 35.5 billion dirhams in longer-term secured refinancing.

Average daily interbank trading volume stood at 6 billion dirhams, with the weighted average interbank rate stable at 2.25%. Treasury bond yields recorded slight increases in both primary and secondary markets during the month.

Deposit rates fell in November, declining by 47 basis points to 2.31% for six-month deposits and by 11 basis points to 2.6% for one-year deposits. Lending rates remained broadly stable, with the overall average holding at 4.85% in the third quarter of 2025.
