Morocco’s Bourse de Casablanca has launched a CCP and a new futures market, the MAT. The move is expected to support the development of Morocco’s financial ecosystem.
The new offerings will be introduced in phases, starting with futures contracts on Bourse de Casablanca’s MASI.20 index. Plans are in place to include additional financial instruments in the future, including interest rate contracts.
With the development of these infrastructures, Bourse de Casablanca, which is considered the second largest stock exchange in Africa after the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, aims to encourage better market transparency through a regulated framework and structured ecosystem. Investors will be better able to anticipate market trends, hedge against volatility, and diversify their investment strategies.
Nasser Seddiqi, CEO of Bourse de Casablanca, says, “We are not merely launching new instruments, but an entirely new market equipped with world-class infrastructure that will strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of our economy.”
