Marchés de capitaux et marchés financiers : quels leviers de développement au Maroc ?

May 11, 2026

Cet épisode interroge la capacité du Maroc à atteindre ses ambitions économiques avec un système de financement encore largement dominé par les banques. Dans un contexte de besoins croissants en investissement et de transformation du tissu productif, les marchés de capitaux apparaissent comme un levier stratégique pour mobiliser l’épargne, soutenir les entreprises et diversifier les sources de financement. À travers l’analyse de Mohammed Benmoussa, l’épisode met en lumière les réformes et dynamiques nécessaires pour faire des marchés de capitaux un moteur durable de croissance et de compétitivité pour le Maroc.

    For today’s middle-income countries in Africa, innovation is essential to sustain growth and promote the transition to high-income status. This paper begins by providing an in-depth review of the region’s innovation performance during the last three decades. A distinction is made between residents and non-residents, and outcomes at different income levels. Using cross-country regressions, we then study the determinants of innovation and assess the impact of innovation on growth in t ...

    The world food price index collected for the last 60 years by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) hit its highest record in March, declining gently in April. Pandemic, war and death in Ukraine, and droughts in the last 2 years… Such a combination looks apocalyptical. Now it is adding global hunger risks, because of the food price crisis. The rise in global food prices started in mid-2020 because supply chain disruptions triggered food stockpiling. Mobility r ...

Morocco is so far successfully shielding its large poor and vulnerable population by subsidizing essential commodities. With memories of the violent protests during the 2007/08 food and fuel crisis ...

However, the impacts of those common shocks ...

Sanctions on Russia are already having a significant impact on its financial system and its economy. Price shocks will have a global impact. Energy and commodity prices—including wheat and other grains—have risen, intensifying inflationary pressures from supply chain disruptions and the recovery from the pandemic. The push toward relative deglobalization received fro ...
