Morocco is set to resume GMT+1 timing this Sunday, starting at 2 a.m.

The Digital Transition and Administration Reform Ministry already announced this change in timing, by adding 60 minutes to the country’s legal hour.

The Ministry also stated that the return to GMT+1 timing comes in accordance with Article 2 of Decree No. 2.18,855, issued on Safar 16 1440 corresponding to October 26, 2018.

The decision to adopt GMT+1 timing was first initiated in 2018, with the aim of reducing time difference between Morocco and its economic partners.

Recently, Morocco adopted GMT timing only for the period of the Holy month of Ramadan.
