Morocco is stepping up efforts to attract private investment and finance strategic industries, with the Mohammed VI Investment Fund planning to commit MAD 8.8 billion in 2026 to support businesses and priority economic projects.

The figures were reported on October 27 alongside the government’s draft 2027 Finance Bill and a report on public establishments and enterprises. The fund’s total payments are expected to reach MAD 2.1 billion during 2026.

The fund is expanding its investment tools to help Moroccan companies access financing, including through equity and quasi-equity arrangements. These mechanisms can provide businesses with capital to grow, invest in equipment and develop new operations without relying exclusively on traditional bank loans.

A pilot programme launched in June 2026 is supporting 22 Moroccan companies across all 12 regions of the country. The initiative aims to improve access to financing for businesses at different stages of development.

The fund is also involved in a partnership with the government, Taqa Morocco, Nareva and the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE). The agreement covers strategic water and energy projects with planned investment of nearly MAD 130 billion.

Looking ahead, the fund plans to launch a new generation of investment funds in 2027, with the objective of attracting additional private capital and supporting major economic projects.

The initiatives could create opportunities for Moroccan businesses and investors, particularly in infrastructure, energy and other strategic sectors. Their overall impact will depend on how quickly the planned investments are committed and translated into operating projects and business growth.
