Introduction:Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a crucial aspect of the banking industry. In Morocco, the State Bank of Morocco was established in 1907 to stabilize the Moroccan currency and promote trade and development in the Sultanate. Following the independence of Morocco, it was replaced in 1959 by the newly created Bank Al-Maghrib, which is the central bank of Morocco. Bank Al-Maghrib's role includes banknotes and coins production, monetary policy tools, management of foreign exchange reserves, banks supervision, and ensuring the security of payment systems and means[3]. In this article, we will discuss the state of GRC in Moroccan banks and where Bank Al-Maghrib stands. We will also explore how RiskNucleus GRC Solution can help banks thrive in its management. The State of GRC in Moroccan Banks:Moroccan banks are subject to regulatory guidelines and industry standards set by Moroccan regulatory authorities such as the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) and the Moroccan Financial Market Authority (CDVM) [2]. Additionally, Moroccan banks must adhere to international standards set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which sets global banking standards, including Basel III[1]. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) often publishes reports on the economic and financial conditions of various countries, including Morocco. These reports can offer a broader perspective on the state of Moroccan banks and their compliance with international standards[1]. Where Bank Al-Maghrib Stands:Bank Al-Maghrib plays a crucial role in ensuring GRC in Moroccan banks. As the central bank of Morocco, it is responsible for banks supervision and ensuring the security of payment systems and means[3]. Bank Al-Maghrib's role in GRC is essential in our daily lives, and it is the "bank of banks," where all commercial banks have accounts, which they are obliged to credit[3]. Bank Al-Maghrib's network is composed of two branches, Rabat and Casablanca, and 20 agencies throughout Morocco[3].
