Revenues from these investments reached 39.6 billion dirhams (+21.6%), while expenditure rose by 46.3% to 17.8 billion dirhams, the same source points out.

The report also states that equity securities are the main component of inflows to Morocco, with a 54.2% share in 2022, reaching 11.8 billion dirhams in 2022 (-8.9 %).
