The Minister of Economy and Finance, Ms. Nadia Fettah Alaoui, rang the opening bell of trading at the London Stock Exchange on Friday, on the sidelines of her participation in the 9th edition of the “Morocco Capital Markets Days 2026” held in the British capital.
This traditional ceremony highlighted the strong partnership ties between Morocco and the United Kingdom, particularly the growing cooperation between the London Stock Exchange and the Casablanca Stock Exchange. The event underscored the increasing synergy between both financial centers.
It also emphasized Morocco’s rising role as a gateway to African markets. The Moroccan delegation included representatives from the Casablanca Stock Exchange, executives of listed companies, and capital market operators, alongside Morocco’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Mr. Hakim Hajoui.
The 2026 edition of the “Morocco Capital Markets Days” confirms the importance of this annual gathering, which brings together London-based financial operators and Morocco’s capital market ecosystem to explore investment opportunities offered by the Kingdom.
The event highlights Morocco’s return to the “Investment Grade” category, record market performance, and the launch of the region’s first derivatives market, including the MASI-20 futures contract.
Against this backdrop, Casablanca is increasingly positioning itself as a credible and dynamic financial hub, providing access to African capital markets.
