Casablanca — The Higher Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) and the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) signed in Rabat today a framework partnership agreement to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions and protect Morocco’s economic and financial public order.
Mohamed Abdennabaoui, First President of the Court of Cassation and Deputy President of the CSPJ, and Tarik Senhaji, President of the AMMC, signed the agreement.
The deal seeks to reinforce institutional cooperation through the exchange of expertise, specialized legal training, support for research, and capacity building in areas linked to capital markets, litigation, and judicial procedures.
It also aims to strengthen transparency, protect the legal and regulatory security of investments, and support the integrity of Morocco’s financial market.
Under the cooperation program, the two institutions will organize training sessions and scientific workshops on stock market offenses, money laundering, terrorist financing, and recent developments in financial crime. They will also hold seminars and study days on offenses related to financial instruments.
The agreement also provides for spaces of exchange on legal questions linked to the impact of new technological developments.
Training and coordination at the center
The program includes actions to improve transparency and integrity in financial markets, the exchange of documents, reports, and scientific studies in line with existing procedures, as well as specialized research on financial legislation and capital markets.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Abdennabaoui said the agreement falls within efforts to strengthen institutional coordination and share expertise and information on issues of common interest.
He praised the AMMC’s role in supervising the capital market and preserving the integrity, transparency, and proper functioning of the financial market.

Rapid economic and financial changes, along with the rise of modern financial technologies and crypto-assets, have made economic security closely linked to legal and judicial security, Abdennabaoui argued.
This, he added, requires continuous support through specialized judicial expertise, stronger legal and technical training, and faster institutional responses to financial crimes and practices that harm market integrity and economic public order.
Abdennabaoui also said economic development and investment attractiveness depend on independent and efficient justice, strong governance institutions, and effective control and regulation mechanisms.
He linked this vision to Royal High Orientations calling for a better business climate, justice and administration reform, good governance, and the fight against corruption.
For his part, Senhaji said the agreement reflects shared values and a common vision between the two institutions in service of the public interest.
The partnership goes beyond protocol and shows a joint will to strengthen the rule of law, protect economic public order, and ensure fairness between investors in an efficient and innovative financial market, he elaborated.
Senhaji further noted that Morocco’s capital market has seen growing momentum in recent years, through higher volumes mobilized to finance the economy, rising market capitalization, and stronger interest from individual investors.
This requires responsible and coordinated regulation based on transparency and market integrity as foundations of trust, he concluded.
