The share of payment cards is rising as the government and banks promote awareness levels and associated benefits among consumers and merchants. The adoption of EMV standards and growth in e-commerce and retail industries also supported the industry's growth.
- In terms of transaction value, debit cards remained the most popular payment card during the review period. The Moroccan population is dominated by a Muslim population who generally avoid credit cards for religious reasons. Consequently, the debit card market registered growth in terms of volume and transaction value during the review period. In order to spur card sales, banks and card issuers are offering EMV-compliant cards and bespoke products to meet specific customer needs.
- In June 2014, the Moroccan government approved a new banking law relating to establishing a fully fledged Islamic finance industry after years of false starts. The draft bill will allow both domestic and foreign banking companies to establish Islamic banking branches in Morocco. The new bill, which also contains legislation pertaining to the establishment of a sharia committee formed in coordination with the central bank, will help build a robust regulatory environment for the financial sector.
