Bank Al-Maghrib Holds Policy Rate at 2.25% Amid Global Turbulence and Domestic Inflation Pressures
On June 23, 2026, the Board of Bank Al‑Maghrib confirmed its 2.25 % policy rate for the fifth consecutive meeting, citing a delicate balance between moderate domestic inflation, a rebound in agricultural output and heightened global uncertainties stemming from the Middle‑East conflict. The central bank highlighted rising energy prices, a modest pick‑up in domestic price pressures and stable growth forecasts, while signalling that future decisions will remain data‑driven. The report also outlined expectations for commodity markets, growth trajectories for Morocco’s economy, labour market statistics and external balances, providing a comprehensive outlook for policy‑makers and investors alike.
