The Competition Council and the National Integrity, Prevention and Anti-Corruption Authority (INPPLC) signed, on Thursday, December 25, 2025 in Rabat, a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening institutional coordination and complementarity between the two independent constitutional bodies, in order to enhance transparency, integrity, regulation of economic practices and good governance.
This agreement is part of the missions assigned to the two institutions by the Kingdom’s Constitution and the laws that govern them. It reflects a common desire to converge efforts in preventing and combating practices contrary to the principles of free and fair competition in economic relations, market integrity and principles of integrity in economic and administrative management, in the service of the general interest.
Within the framework of this agreement, the two Parties commit in particular to:
- Strengthen the prevention and repression of anti-competitive practices and acts of corruption, by promoting a coordinated and complementary approach.
- Develop joint actions for training, capacity building and exchange of expertise in the fields of competition control, corruption prevention, business ethics and governance;
- Organize awareness-raising activities, conferences, seminars and workshops on common interest topics;
- Strengthen the exchange of information and data on commercial practices and risky situations that could distort competition or undermine market integrity;
The agreement also provides for the establishment of a joint implementation and monitoring mechanism, aimed at ensuring close coordination between the Parties in the development, execution and evaluation of action plans, for the effective implementation of its provisions.
It represents an important step in strengthening institutional cooperation and complementarity in support of a more transparent, competitive national economy based on the principles of integrity, responsibility and trust in market regulation mechanisms.
