Morocco’s Central Bank distinguished for anti-corruption measures

Morocco’s central bank, known as Bank Al-Maghrib, received ISO 37001 certification in recognition for its Anti-Corruption Management System.

The bank has received this certification on its 60th anniversary following the audit conducted by Euro-Compliance in October 2019, Bank Al-Maghrib said in a press release.

This certification will further strengthen Bank Al-Maghrib’s actions, in terms of ethics and professional conduct, providing the Bank with an integrated and well-structured anti-corruption system, the release added.
