The number of counterfeit banknotes detected in Morocco fell 10% in both volume and value in 2025 to 4,064 notes, according to Bank Al-Maghrib’s annual report.
The central bank attributed the decline to enhanced security features on Moroccan banknotes, upgraded counterfeit detection equipment and expanded inspections of banks and private cash-sorting centres.
Bank Al-Maghrib said it continued introducing new security elements for banknotes while modernising its cash-processing systems as part of efforts to combat currency counterfeiting.
The bank also expanded production of secure identity and official documents during the year, manufacturing more than 2.2 million biometric passports, 3.1 million pre-printed cards and 2.5 million personalised cards**.
Other output included **41.2 million** SNTL vehicle stickers, **6.9 million** ONEE stickers, **1.45 million** diplomas and certificates, and millions of other secure government documents, the report said.
