INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Dirham is depreciating this week against the Dollar following a double basket-liquidity effect. The USD/MAD appreciated by +0.54% to 10.17 in one week, its highest level since the beginning of June 2023.
In detail, the market effect stands at +0.75% following a tightening of liquidity conditions. The basket effect, for its part, stands at -0.21%.
MAD liquidity spreads continue to tighten, going from 1.66% to 2.42% in one week, up 76 PBS. Indeed, the end of the summer period, characterized by a significant flow of workers’ remittances, had a negative impact on export flows during this period.
