122 billion dirhams from Moroccans Residing Abroad (MRE) and 138 billion dirhams from tourism: the double achievement…

The remittances from Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) have crossed the 122 billion dirhams mark at the end of the year 2025. According to the Office of Exchange, this performance is accompanied by a spectacular increase in tourism receipts, thus consolidating the foreign exchange reserves of the Kingdom.

The Moroccan economy continues to benefit from the massive support of its diaspora. MRE transfers recorded an increase of 2.6% in 2025 compared to 118.9 billion dirhams in the previous year. This financial windfall remains a fundamental pillar of the balance of payments, testifying to the resilience of the link between Moroccans around the world and their country of origin.

The Office of Exchange also highlights a robust dynamic in the services sector. The surplus of the services balance has increased by 14.2%, reaching more than 159.66 billion dirhams. This vitality is driven by a growth in service exports (+11.9%, or 315.03 billion dirhams) that outpaces that of imports (+9.7%, or 155.37 billion dirhams).

The travel sector is displaying record indicators at the end of 2025, with a surplus balance up by 23.5%, exceeding the threshold of 105.12 billion dirhams. This performance is based on two key factors:

• Tourism receipts: They have reached an unprecedented level of 138.1 billion dirhams, an increase of 20.6% year-on-year.

• Travel expenses: Although up by 12.3%, they remain limited to 32.98 billion dirhams, allowing for a comfortable margin.
