MRE Diaspora Investment Morocco Economy Growth Strategy

In 2025, these MREs based mainly in France, Spain and Belgium sent more than 122 billion dirhams to their country of origin, or 11 billion euros. However, the share of this capital injected into the real economy remains extremely low, struggling to exceed 10%.
