What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The African Development Bank completed its first bond issuance denominated in Moroccan dirhams, raising MAD 1 billion, or $100 million, through a private placement. This seven-year bond carries a floating interest rate indexed to the Moroccan Overnight Index Average, known as MONIA. The bank stated the issuance is part of a strategy to diversify financing offerings in Morocco by introducing the dirham alongside the euro and US dollar.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The issuance allows Moroccan borrowers to access local currency financing, which could reduce exchange-rate risk for businesses earning revenue in dirhams. However, the floating rate structure means borrowers remain exposed to shifts in borrowing costs. The transaction utilizes MONIA, a benchmark developed by Bank Al-Maghrib.
