Casablanca - The net flow of foreign direct investments (FDI) reached more than 9.61 billion dirhams in the first half of 2021, up 5.4% compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the Exchange Office.

This evolution is attributable to an increase in revenue of 13.7% to 15.56 billion dirhams against 13.68 billion dirhams, more than that of the expenditure which stands at 5.94 billion dirhams, said the Office.

Regarding Moroccan direct investments abroad (IDME), they stood at MAD 10.62 billion, the highest level reached during the same period for the last five years, posting an increase of MAD 6.08 billion compared to the same period of the year 2020.

This increase remains slightly lower than that achieved by the sales of these investments (+6.50 billion dirhams). Thus, the net flow of FDI fell by 17%, said the same source.
