The National Authority for Probity, Prevention, and Fight against Corruption (INPPLC) and Morocco’s three financial sector authorities, Bank Al-Maghrib, the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) and the Supervisory Authority of Insurance and Social Welfare (ACAPS), held their fifth annual follow-up meeting under their 2019 cooperation agreement on preventing and combating corruption in the financial sector. The meeting reviewed implementation over the 2024–2025 period and endorsed the roadmap for 2025–2026. The four institutions highlighted capacity-building and knowledge-sharing actions, including seminars and training for more than 1,600 executives and managers across authorities and supervised institutions, and work with the Moroccan Foundation for Financial Education to strengthen trainers’ expertise on integrity and corruption prevention. They also referenced sector-wide exchanges, including a corruption risk management seminar with over 80 participants from banking, insurance and capital markets, and workshops on gift policies, conflicts of interest management and anti-corruption training programmes. A corruption risk assessment project in the insurance sector, undertaken with United Nations experts, is being finalised and its initial findings were presented, while a similar capital markets project has been launched and is expected to be completed by 2026. The 2025–2026 roadmap focuses on further strengthening skills and integrity culture, expanding awareness and experience-sharing initiatives, and implementing action plans and risk management frameworks arising from corruption risk mapping in the insurance and capital markets sectors. The institutions also plan a self-assessment of the convention and its implementation modalities, six years after its 2019 adoption, to adapt to evolving national and international contexts, and committed to supporting INPPLC’s sectoral approach.
