00:34and the Director of the French Development Agency, Berrabat, signed the two agreements.
00:40The first agreement, which amounts to 100 million euros,

01:22In his speech during the regional forum on the level of financial stability,
01:27the governor of the Moroccan Bank, Abdel Taif Jouhri,
01:30confirmed that Morocco is facing major challenges in the field of digital currencies since 2017.
01:38He pointed out that the Moroccan authorities are making great efforts to organize these currencies
01:43to ensure the protection of users and investors,
01:47while at the same time preserving the opportunities provided by these inventions.
01:52Jouhri stated that Morocco, in cooperation with the International Bank,
01:57is approaching a legal project to organize digital currencies,
02:01which is now in the stage of adoption by the authorities.
02:06This step comes after a period of caution imposed by the country
02:10in dealing with digital currencies,
02:13which highlights the new approach to adopting this innovative sector in the national economy.
02:22In the financial sector, and in a step aimed at strengthening the financial liquidity of Moroccan banks,
02:28the banking sector is witnessing a critical stage with the launch of the secondary market for inflated loans,
02:34where the General Manager of the Moroccan Bank, Abdel Rahim Bouazza,
02:38said that the Moroccan Bank is happy to launch this reform,
02:41which is essential for the banking sector and the national economy,
02:45as it will enable banks to liberate new financial capabilities
02:49by selling these assets to specialized investors.
02:53The expectations indicate that the market for inflated loans will be very large,
02:58as the value of inflated loans in the banking sector is about 98 billion dirhams,
03:04which equates to more than 8.6% of the total balance of loans for banks
03:09and 7% of the total balance of loans for banks.

04:03which strengthens the position of Morocco as one of the most prominent markets in the telecommunications sector in the region.

04:33a decrease in the value of oil exports to the Kingdom by 8.55%
04:40during the first nine months of 2024,
