Maroc PME

Maroc PME is a Moroccan public institution dedicated to supporting very small, small, and medium-sized enterprises as part of the country's economic and industrial development policies.[1][2]

History

The institution was established in 2002 under the name National Agency for the Promotion of Small and Medium Enterprises (ANPME) as part of Morocco's public efforts to strengthen the country's SME sector.[3] In 2014, the agency was rebranded as Maroc PME.[4][5]

In May 2026, Maroc PME signed a framework agreement with the Casablanca Stock Exchange to facilitate access for Moroccan very small, small, and medium-sized enterprises to the capital markets.[6][7]
