Moroccan expatriate remittances rise to 29.7 billion dirhams by March 2026

Funds transferred by Moroccans living abroad have surpassed 29.7 billion dirhams by the close of March 2026, up from 26.62 billion dirhams during the same period last year, according to the Foreign Exchange Office.

These remittances have seen an 11.7% increase year-on-year, as highlighted by the Office in its latest report on monthly foreign exchange indicators.

The report also reveals a positive balance in the travel sector, reaching nearly 23.7 billion dirhams, marking a 31.4% rise. This improvement stems from a more substantial boost in revenues (+23.5% to 31 billion dirhams) compared to expenses, which edged up by 3.4% to 7.31 billion dirhams.

In terms of foreign direct investments (FDI), the net flow has dropped by 8.3%, settling at 8.45 billion dirhams, with both revenues (-13.1%) and expenses (-22.4%) witnessing declines.
