Teleperformance Morocco responds to layoff claims, citing security breach
According to the statement, «an employee used her personal access badge to allow two unauthorized colleagues to enter a secured area governed by strict security protocols, particularly in relation to our PCI-DSS certification».
In line with internal procedures, an investigation was carried out, including the review of surveillance footage, «conducted in full compliance with applicable regulations (CNDP authorization ref. A-PO-1074/2023)», the company added. Teleperformance stated that «the facts were formally acknowledged by the employees involved during individual interviews», and reminded that «access badges are strictly personal, and no third party is allowed entry into production areas without formal prior authorization».
According to Orange Morocco, «the events constituted a serious breach of several internal policies, including the Code of Conduct, the group's data protection policy, the information systems security policy, and the IT resource usage charter». As a result, «management decided to terminate the employment contracts on grounds of gross misconduct».
While acknowledging that the decision was «humanly difficult», Teleperformance emphasized «the absolute need to rigorously protect sensitive data, secure production environments, and fulfill our obligations to clients». The company added that «the disciplinary action taken in this case was solely based on a clear violation of security rules, and was in no way discriminatory».
The statement comes in response to a letter circulated by the National Federation of Postal and Telecommunications Activities Employees (FAPT), part of France's General Confederation of Labor (CGT). On July 2, the union publicly criticized Orange over a labor dispute involving Teleperformance's Moroccan branch and employees affiliated with the Moroccan Labor Union (UMT). In the letter, reviewed by Yabiladi, the union denounced the dismissals as abusive, reportedly affecting three individuals.

Morocco Projects 4.4% Growth in Third Quarter of 2025
Morocco's economy is expected to expand by 4.4% in the third quarter of 2025, according to new estimates from the High Commission for Planning (HCP). The projection reflects steady momentum carried over from early in the year, although growth may ease slightly compared to previous months. The HCP noted that domestic demand continues to play a central role. It is projected to contribute 6.6 percentage points to overall growth, offsetting weaker external demand caused by slower global economic conditions. After a period of recovery that began at the end of 2024, both investment and household consumption remain strong, though the pace may become more moderate. Non-agricultural activities are expected to rise by 4.2%, following a 4.4% increase in the second quarter. Inflation pressures are likely to remain contained. If global oil prices keep declining, inflation could settle at 1.1% in the third quarter, with core inflation reaching around 0.8%. These projections rest on the assumption that food supply chains remain stable and oil markets do not face new shocks. The HCP also cited a list of uncertainties that could affect the outlook. Among the top concerns is the impact of new US tariffs on European items. This could weaken foreign demand for Moroccan products, particularly those with strong ties to Europe such as automobiles, chemicals, textiles and metallurgy. The agricultural sector might also be under threat if the hot summers cut animal production. Other sectors might, though, cushion the dangers. The agri-food sector, which includes cereal processing and fish canning, might increase the growth. The chemical sector to remain robust, might also support industrial output. Yet another fall in global oil prices will be able to keep inflation in check and support growth, provided there are no huge geopolitical surprises. Tags: economic growtheconomyHCPhcp reportMorocco

OCP Acquires Support Subsidiary from PwC Advisory Morocco
Rabat – PwC Advisory Morocco has announced the sale of its subsidiary, PwC Business Services, to Moroccan phosphate giant OCP SA. The move marks a strategic shift for both companies and formalizes the long-standing collaboration between them. PwC Business Services was established to provide non-regulated administrative and financial services exclusively to OCP SA. Its work includes internal support functions such as IT services, accounting, and operational assistance that helped the phosphate group run its day-to-day business more efficiently. Since its creation, the company has worked solely for OCP, as it functioned as a dedicated support arm for the group's internal operations, PWC said in a press release. PwC Advisory Morocco, part of the global PwC network, offers a range of consulting and advisory services to clients in Morocco and the wider North African region. The buyer, OCP, is a global leader in the phosphate and fertilizer industry. The company has undergone a major transformation in recent years, with heavy investments in technology, sustainability, and expansion across Africa. The group controls over 70% of the world's known phosphate rock reserves, located mainly in Morocco. OCP invests in agricultural research, soil science, and digital farming tools to help farmers, especially in Africa, use fertilizers more efficiently and sustainably. Taking over PwC Business Services allows OCP to internalize operations that were already entirely dedicated to its needs. The acquisition is expected to help OCP increase efficiency, cut costs, and improve control over key support services. For PwC Advisory, the sale could offer an opportunity to streamline its activities and concentrate on its advisory mission. Now that the support subsidiary is fully integrated into OCP, PwC Advisory can expand its services to a broader client base in Morocco and elsewhere. Tags: OCP MoroccoPWC advisory

British Airways launches direct flights from London to Rabat starting November 2025
British Airways is fueling a major tourism boost for Morocco this winter by launching a new direct route between London and Rabat, set to begin on November 5, 2025. Operated by its Gatwick-based subsidiary, Euroflyer, the route will offer twice-weekly flights, on Wednesdays and Sundays, connecting UK travelers directly with the Moroccan capital. This marks a significant step in the airline's short-haul expansion strategy for 2025, alongside new services to Graz, Austria, and a high-frequency link to Madrid, Spain. The move highlights British Airways' commitment to strengthening point-to-point travel and tapping into under-served destinations across Europe and North Africa. By leveraging the operational flexibility of Euroflyer and BA Cityflyer, the airline aims to promote regional development, cultural exchange, and greater travel convenience. According to British Airways, the Rabat route will use Airbus A320 aircraft and include both economy and Club Europe business class cabins, reflecting the company's efforts to attract both leisure and business travelers. The new flight will also bypass stopovers previously required to reach Rabat from London, making it a more seamless option for tourists and members of the Moroccan diaspora.
