According to the latest data released by the Moroccan Exchange Office, the flow of foreign investments reached about 30.5 billion dirhams (3.2 billion dollars) in the first ten months of this year, noticing an increase of 41.9 percent year-on-year.
The notable increase was due to an increase in revenues by nearly MAD 11.8 billion ($1.16 billion), accounting for 9.43 billion dirhams ($952 million), according to the Exchange Office’s data on monthly indicators of foreign exchange in October.
Over the last five years, FDI inflows have averaged 9.7 percent. Participating bonds, which give the investor the right to periodic interest as well as part of the profits from the exporting entity in specific cases, accounted for 74.3 percent of total foreign direct investment inflows, compared to 61.8 percent on an annual basis.
