Morocco's Mohammed VI Investment Fund has committed $7.2 billion in self-generated funds to support various companies by the end of 2025. According to a recent report, the fund has financed 52 companies as of 2025. The fund's activities have also contributed to supporting over 15,000 job positions. This development highlights the fund's role in promoting economic growth and employment in Morocco.
The report also revealed that the fund's investment activities have mobilized $18.7 billion in capital, with $14.4 billion coming from other investors. This represents a multiplier effect of 4.3 times. Furthermore, the fund has committed $3.9 billion to support small and medium-sized enterprises. These efforts demonstrate the fund's ability to leverage its resources to attract additional capital and enhance its interventions.
In addition to the funds mobilized, the indirect investment has generated significant economic and social impacts on the supported companies. For instance, 11 companies invested in by seven funds have created a total of 3,963 job positions, including 1,376 for women and 110 for young people. This underscores the fund's commitment to promoting social inclusion and job creation.
The Mohammed VI Investment Fund has also prioritized environmental and social requirements, with 150 environmental and social actions identified through environmental and social action plans. Of these, 76 have been completed during the year. This focus on sustainability reflects the fund's dedication to responsible investing.
To further strengthen its efforts, the fund has initiated a process to structure Morocco's risk capital ecosystem. Following a call for expressions of interest launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform and the Deposit and Management Fund, 47 applications were submitted, with nine asset management companies selected. This initiative aims to establish a comprehensive financing chain to support start-ups and promote the growth of a national risk capital industry.
The Mohammed VI Investment Fund's efforts to support entrepreneurship and job creation are complemented by secondary debt financing tools. These tools provide an appropriate response to the financing needs of companies and facilitate the mobilization of additional funding. By strengthening the economic self-financing of companies and reducing the risks borne by financial partners, these tools enable the fund to support investment and development projects and enhance production capacities.
The Mohammed VI Investment Fund's achievements demonstrate its potential as a catalyst for economic growth and job creation in Morocco. With its commitment to supporting companies and promoting sustainable development, the fund is well-positioned to continue playing a vital role in Morocco's economic development. As the fund continues to implement its strategies, it is likely to have a lasting impact on the country's economy and society.
