The Casablanca Stock Exchange ended the week in negative territory, with its main index, the MASI, dropping by 1.25% to close at 17,772.15 points on Friday.

The MASI 20, which tracks the 20 most traded stocks on the market, also recorded a decline of 1.31%, settling at 1,447.16 points.

Meanwhile, the MASI ESG index—featuring companies with the highest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings according to Moody’s ESG Solutions—fell by 1.07% to end at 1,215.49 points.

The downturn reflects a general market correction or investor caution, with no single sector clearly driving the losses. Analysts are expected to watch closely for further signs of volatility or recovery in the coming sessions.

As one of the region’s leading stock markets, the Casablanca Stock Exchange continues to play a central role in Morocco’s financial ecosystem, especially as ESG investments gain increasing attention among both local and international investors.
