Mr. Mohammed Tarik BCHIR, Acting Director of the Treasury and External Finance, took part on April 22, 2026, in Casablanca, in the official launch conference of the National Supply Chain Finance (SCF) Strategy, led by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Bank Al-Maghrib, with the support of the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
In his opening remarks, Mr. BCHIR emphasized the strategic importance of Supply Chain Finance, not as just another solution, but as a fundamental transformation addressing the issue of payment delays that weigh on companies’ cash flow and limit their ability to grow. He also highlighted that this strategy aims to rebuild trust within the supply chain as a driver of economic competitiveness and support for the national productive fabric.
The result of collective and coordinated work among all stakeholders, the supply chain financing strategy builds on ongoing efforts in financial inclusion, reduction of payment delays, and improved access to financing for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). It aims to address structural constraints affecting companies’ working capital financing by promoting the development of resilient, digitalized, and better-integrated value chains.
The event featured a detailed presentation of the strategy and its implementation roadmap, followed by a discussion panel addressing the challenges of reducing payment delays, the role of financial institutions in developing SCF solutions, the importance of risk mitigation mechanisms, the need to mobilize anchor companies, and the key levers required to scale up SCF in Morocco.
