On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at the 10th edition of the 'Digital Meetings by PortNet' held during Logismed in Casablanca, Omar Hejira, the Moroccan Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, announced the creation of a national single window to accelerate the digitalization of foreign trade. The initiative aims to streamline procedures and reduce delays for exporters and importers.
According to verified reports from Moroccan news outlets, Hejira emphasized that this single window will integrate all stakeholders involved in foreign trade operations, including customs, port authorities, and other regulatory bodies. The system is designed to replace fragmented digital platforms with a unified interface, improving efficiency and transparency.
The announcement builds on Morocco's existing PortNet platform, which has already digitized several trade processes. The new single window is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027, pending technical development and stakeholder coordination. No specific budget or timeline for pilot testing was provided.
This move aligns with Morocco's broader digital transformation strategy under the 'Digital Morocco 2030' plan. The initiative is seen as crucial for boosting the country's competitiveness in international trade, particularly as it seeks to attract more foreign investment and streamline logistics.
