Après une édition réussie en 2017, IFN Morocco Forum 2018 se tient à Casablanca le 17 avril 2018 pour offrir aux acteurs de l’industrie une opportunité exceptionnelle d’explorer le potentiel de ce marché naissant mais prometteur.
Lancée en 2014 avec le vote du projet de loi sur le financement participatif, suivi du développement d’un cadre réglementaire exhaustif visant à intégrer tous les aspects de la finance participative, l’industrie de la finance participative (finance islamique) est parée pour la croissance au Maroc.
Huit banques ont obtenu des licences en 2017 pour offrir des produits conformes à la charia. Cette étape majeure a été suivie par l’inauguration du réseau de succursales des banques dédiées aux activités de financement participatif.
Aujourd’hui, pour les banques participatives, la priorité absolue est certainement l’introduction de l’assurance Takaful, mais certains acteurs du marché ont mentionné le besoin d’une industrie islamique de gestion d’actifs tandis que d’autres demandent que la Bourse de Casablanca soit équipée d’un indice islamique d’actions.
