Money laundering: Morocco ranks among top 10 safest African countries

Morocco has been recognized as one of the safest African countries in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, according to the Basel Index 2025. Ranked 100th out of 177 countries worldwide, Morocco is positioned in a moderate vigilance zone at the global level, reflecting ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial regulatory framework.
