Casablanca Finance City Authority (CFCA) is responsible for managing and promoting Casablanca Finance City under
Law 44-10 relating to the CFC status, amended and completed by Law 68-12, and under their application decrees.
The CFC status, established by Law 44-10, is a label giving entitlement to an attractive package of advantages
including tax incentives, foreign exchange control facilitation measures and other benefits making it easier to do
business. The CFC status is granted by the CFC Commission, chaired by the Minister of the Economy and Finance,
upon CFCA’s proposal.
As soon as this status has been granted, companies with the CFC status are obliged to comply with certain legal
requirements, particularly in terms of reporting. This annual report falls within this context.
