The net flow of Moroccan direct investments abroad (MDIA) recorded a slight increase of 4.5% to MAD 4.6 billion in 2021, according to the exchange office.
This flow results from the difference between the receipts of the MDIA, which amounted to MAD 18.2 billion, and the transfers of these investments (MAD 13.6 billion), said the Office in its annual report on the balance of payments and international investment position of Morocco.
By nature of operations, equity securities remain the main component of the net flow of Moroccan investments abroad with a share of 64.1% of the total net flow, the same source said, noting that they have increased by 25.4%.
In contrast, reinvested profits have fallen sharply by 36.6%, from MAD 1.2 billion in 2020 to MAD 0.7 billion in 2021. They represent 16.3% of the total net flow of MDIAs.
The MDIAs are carried out mainly in financial and insurance activities, which record a net flow of MAD +2.6 billion in 2021. They are followed by manufacturing industries (MAD +2.1 billion), then the mining sector (MAD +0.2 billion).
