English brief
Summary
Morocco's bank credit to the private non-financial sector grew 10.1% in July 2026, following a 9.8% rise in June, driven mainly by accelerated lending to private non-financial companies, according to Bank Al-Maghrib. The report notes the acceleration in corporate credit but does not provide figures beyond the growth rates. Uncertainty remains regarding the longer-term impact on small vs. large firms and on the broader economy.
