  ›  Law No. 35-96 concerning the Central Depository

 

Established in 1997 as a Public Limited Company functioning as a Central Securities Depository, pursuant to Dahir No. 1-96-246 of January 9, 1997, which enacted Law No. 35-96 concerning the establishment of a central depository. It provides its clientele, comprised solely of issuers, banks, and brokerage firms, with an extensive array of services that address market demands and adhere to international compliance standards.

 

MAROCLEAR guarantees the custody, circulation, and administration of securities on behalf of its affiliates. In both stock market transactions and over-the-counter dealings, MAROCLEAR is engaged throughout the entire post-transaction process.

 

The systems established by MAROCLEAR facilitate the matching and settlement of transactions involving securities admitted to its operations, adhering to the principle of settlement against delivery. Specifically, this results in securities flows being directly charged to the accounts maintained by MAROCLEAR, alongside corresponding cash flows that are instructed simultaneously with Bank Al-Maghrib (Central Bank).

 

MAROCLEAR operates under a General Regulation, sanctioned by the Minister of Finance (decree n°932.98 dated April 16, 1998). It is overseen by the Ministry of Finance and is subject to the oversight of the AMMC (Moroccan Capital Market Authority) in addition to that of Bank Al-Maghrib.
