The Office of Foreign Exchange has reported that key indicators related to tourism, transfers from Moroccans living abroad (MRE), and foreign direct investments (FDI) continued to show positive trends in the first half of 2026, confirming the strengthening of currency inflows into the Moroccan economy.

According to the latest monthly external trade bulletin published by the institution, travel receipts reached 64.89 billion dirhams by the end of June 2026, marking an increase of 15.9% compared to the same period last year.

At the same time, travel expenses rose by 3.6%, reaching 16.09 billion dirhams. This development allowed the travel balance to record a surplus of 48.8 billion dirhams, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 20.6%.

Transfers from Moroccans living abroad also maintained their growth momentum, reaching 61.48 billion dirhams by the end of June, up 9.9%. This confirms their strategic role as one of the main sources of foreign currency for the Kingdom.

On the investment front, the Office of Foreign Exchange noted a marked improvement in foreign direct investments. Net FDI flows increased by 31.5%, totaling 26.161 billion dirhams by the end of June 2026, indicating a reinforced appeal of the Moroccan economy to international investors.

Meanwhile, Moroccan direct investments abroad recorded a positive net flow of 5.711 billion dirhams, demonstrating the ongoing expansion of Moroccan companies in international markets.

These results affirm the positive dynamics of the Moroccan economy in the first half of 2026, driven by a robust recovery in tourism activity, the continued rise in MRE transfers, and improved foreign direct investment.
