Can you take your money out of Morocco?? Good question - I recently could not even get 2000 euros out of my Moroccan bank account (even though I am a foreigner and have an account in 'dirhams convertibles') I had to ask a friend with an account at the same bank (although the rule is the same at other banks) who has a Moroccan passport but is resident in France, and I had to transfer the equivalent of 2000 euros into her bank account, then she withdrew the cash and gave it to me!
Having sold my property now, and I have all the relevant 'quittus fiscale' receipts etc, I now have to go via the 'Office de Change' to transfer the funds back to the original European bank they came from (and I have to have proof of the transfers too)
What I would like to know is - what is the situation re: the security of Moroccan banks? Are there any guarantees on savings deposited in Moroccan banks similar to the guarantees given by some European countries?
