On Monday, February 16, 2026 in Casablanca, the Director of the Treasury and External Finance represented the Minister of Economy and Finance at the ceremony celebrating the industrial companies awarded under the Growth Support Program, organized in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Casablanca Stock Exchange, the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) and the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC).
During the event, the Director of the Treasury delivered an address on behalf of the Minister, emphasizing that this initiative reflects the convergence between public action, the financial market and the commitment of the private sector. He commended the involvement of the awarded companies, viewing it as testimony to their willingness to embark on a sustainable growth trajectory, essential to consolidating a robust and competitive industrial fabric.
It was also recalled that sustainable industrial growth relies on smooth coordination between the real sphere and the financial sphere. In this regard, emphasis was on the need for structured support for companies, aimed at strengthening their operational capacities, supporting their move up the value chain and facilitating their access to diversified sources of financing.
Reading the message of the Minister, the Director of the Treasury underlined that the Moroccan economy is now part of a sustained momentum, supported by the strength of the Kingdom’s economic fundamentals. Under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, Morocco continues to responsibly steer its public finances, characterized by control of budgetary balances, with a deficit limited to 3.5%, prudent management of Treasury debt, contained at 67.2% of GDP, an inflation rate kept under control at around 1%, and favorable growth prospects, which could exceed 5% in 2026.
This stable macroeconomic framework constitutes a major lever for mobilizing savings in favor of productive investment.
It was also indicated that the capital market constitutes a strategic lever complementary to bank financing, forming part of a coherent financing continuum ranging in particular from the Mohammed VI Investment Fund to private equity, up to the Casablanca Stock Exchange, in order to offer companies solutions tailored to each stage of their development.
The ceremony was also marked by the announcement of the launch of the next cohorts of the Program. The ambition is to amplify its impact to bring forth a new generation of industrial champions capable of promoting Moroccan excellence on the international stage.
The event brought together key stakeholders of the industrial and financial ecosystem, notably the Minister of Industry and Trade, the Presidents of the AMMC and the CGEM and the presidents of the affiliated sectoral federations, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Casablanca Stock Exchange, industrial company leaders and presidents, as well as the Presidents of professional associations operating within the capital market.
