Remittances from Moroccans living abroad (MRE) reached 18.54 billion dirhams (approximately $1.8 billion) by the end of February 2026, according to data from Morocco's Foreign Exchange Office. This figure represents a 4.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
The consistent flow of remittances remains a crucial pillar of Morocco's economy, providing a stable source of foreign currency and supporting the balance of payments. These funds are a vital financial resource for many households across the country.
Analysts note that the resilience of remittance flows highlights the strong ties maintained by the Moroccan diaspora with their home country. The sector has shown stability despite global economic fluctuations.
The Moroccan government has implemented various measures to facilitate these money transfers and encourage investment from its citizens abroad, recognizing their significant economic contribution.
