Bank Al-Maghrib, together with the National Authority for Probity, Prevention, and Fight against Corruption (INPPLC), the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) and the Supervisory Authority of Insurance and Social Welfare (ACAPS), published an update following their fifth annual high-level follow-up meeting under the 2019 cooperation agreement on preventing and combating corruption in the financial sector. The authorities reviewed implementation over 2024–2025 and approved a roadmap for 2025–2026. Work over the past period included seminars and training for more than 1,600 executives and managers across financial sector authorities and institutions, and collaboration with the Moroccan Foundation for Financial Education to strengthen trainer capability on integrity and corruption prevention. Knowledge-sharing continued through a corruption risk management seminar with over 80 participants from banking, insurance and capital markets, alongside workshops on gift policies, conflicts of interest management and the delivery of anti-corruption training programmes. In parallel, an insurance-sector corruption risk assessment project supported by United Nations experts was launched and is being finalised, with initial findings presented at the meeting, while a similar capital markets project has been launched and is expected to be completed by 2026. For 2025–2026, cooperation will focus on further skills-building and integrity culture initiatives, awareness and experience-sharing, and the implementation of action plans arising from corruption risk mapping, including defining risk-management frameworks for insurance and capital markets aligned with the approach already applied in banking. The four institutions also agreed to conduct a self-assessment of the convention and its implementation modalities six years after its adoption, with a view to adapting them to evolving national and international contexts.
