Why a Moroccan SME’s Observatory?

Although several institutions in Morocco have data on companies, these data generally are used for internal management needs, in the absence of a centralized system to consolidate and qualify them to obtain statistics and multidimensional analysis of the profile and behavior of the Moroccan entrepreneurial fabric.

To remedy this situation, Bank Al-Maghrib took the initiative to launch, in 2013, the reflection on the creation of the Moroccan SME's Observatory and worked to sensitize the various parties concerned, namely ministerial departments, public institutions, and representatives of the business world and the banking sector, of the importance of adhering to this innovative national project that aims to create a single, unified source of harmonized information on companies.

In November 2013, the Moroccan SME's Observatory (OMTPME) was established as a non-profit organization. Since then, it has engaged in a protracted process of collaboration with numerous partners, which was accelerated by signing of data exchange agreements with Bank Al-Maghrib, the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI), the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), and the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC), in 2017. Based on the fusion of data from several organizations, this collaborative endeavor has enabled the construction of the country's first centralized database of formal enterprises.

Genesis

The goal was to establish a unified informational system about businesses in Morocco. 

In November 2013, the Moroccan SME's Observatory (OMTPME) was established as a non-profit organization.
