Remittances from Moroccans living abroad continue to play a major role in the Moroccan economy. According to the latest data from the Exchange Office, diaspora remittances exceeded $12.4 billion by the end of 2025.
Already in 2024, these remittances had reached over $11.7 billion, representing more than 8% of the Kingdom's gross domestic product. This strategic resource allows Morocco to maintain its position among the leading recipients of remittances in the Middle East and North Africa region, according to the World Bank.
Behind these figures, more than 5 million Moroccans live abroad, primarily in Europe. France remains the top destination country, followed by Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Beyond providing financial support to families, Rabat now aims to further mobilize the capital and skills of the diaspora towards productive investments. The goal is to support industrial projects and value-creating sectors to strengthen economic growth, employment, and development in the Kingdom.
