Bank account ownership remains marked by a clear gap between men and women, according to the High Commission for Planning (HCP), as only 29% of banked people are women.
“71% of banked individuals aged 15 and over are men and 29% are women,” said the HCP in a note published on the occasion of the International Day for Women’s Rights, celebrated this year under the theme “For an inclusive digital world: innovation and technology for gender equality.”
In its note, the HCP recalls that the global program of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to 2030 gives a central place to gender equality, a cross-cutting theme present in the 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, and to which is devoted the fifth goal dedicated specifically to gender equality and empowerment of girls and women.
The organization also recalls that Morocco is one of the first countries that have presented for a second time in 5 years, their national reports on the implementation of the SDGs to the UN High Level Political Forum for Sustainable Development, and the few countries that have developed regional reports on the SDGs.
In addition, the note reports an improvement in women’s access to new information and communication technologies (NICTs), indicating that between 2015 and 2020, the share of women aged 5 years and older who own a cell phone rose from 92.2% to 94.9%. For men, this share increased from 95.5% to 96.4% over the same period.
