Morocco's official reserve assets

As of 9 October 2026, official reserve assets stood at MAD 515.4 billion, up 22.6% year on year.

These foreign currency reserves, held by Bank Al-Maghrib, are used to pay for imports, service foreign debt and support the value of the dirham. They are often measured in months of imports covered: the higher that number, the better protected the country is against an external shock.
