Casablanca-Settat to Issue Bonds to Finance Regional Development Projects

As part of its 2022–2027 Regional Development Plan, the Casablanca-Settat Regional Council is preparing to issue debt bonds to raise funds for infrastructure and public service projects.

According to the agenda for the ordinary session scheduled for Monday, July 7, 2025, the council plans to delegate full authority to its president to carry out all procedures necessary to obtain the loan through bond issuance.

This decision follows a long-standing approach of using loans to finance development. For the year 2025, the region’s total budget is 1.4 billion dirhams, with 354 million dirhams allocated for debt repayment, including 150 million dirhams set aside for early repayment of high-interest loans.

The measure reflects the region’s urgent need to finance critical infrastructure and economic growth in Morocco’s most populous and economically active region.
