4. The rate of banking exceeds 70% in Morocco: "Morocco is fast becoming a model of banking inclusion in Africa. In fact, according to statistics that the 13th report of the banking supervision of Bank Al-Maghrib is about to deliver (which is usually published the first weeks of the summer of each year), the rate of banking has crossed, for the first time, the bar of 70% by the end of 2016. This indicator, which measures the number of open accounts in the different banks in relation to the total population of a country, was still barely around 20% in 2000 and 40% in 2007, or on the day before of the setting up by the main Moroccan banks of an aggressive strategy of extending their networks. The other accelerator of this movement was unquestionably the entry in 2010 of Al Barid Bank which reached, in seven years of practice, some six million customers."

According to Philippe Rocard, the CEO of Axa Assurance Maroc, the Takaful will constitute a serious growth relay for the company in the local market."
