Morocco hits 2025 production target of 1 million cars

2025/12/10 20:32

Morocco produced 1 million cars in 2025 to maintain its position as the largest vehicle maker in Africa, industry and trade minister Ryad Mezzour said.

Mezzour said Morocco achieved the target ahead of schedule and is on the verge of matching France for the number of cars manufactured per year.

“This month, the number of cars manufactured in Morocco hit the 1 million mark through 2025 thanks to the heavy investments channelled into this sector,” the minister said on the government Instagram account.

This compares to 560,000 produced in 2024 and 250,000 in 2020, according to a report by research company CEIC, citing data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.

Mezzour also said domestic components in locally produced cars had reached 70 percent.

The minister forecast that Morocco’s car and auto part exports market will soon be worth $40 billion annually with the projected surge in the number of domestically produced cars. 

The value of Morocco’s automotive industry is set to rise after French auto giant Renault announced plans to produce electric vehicles and expand its facilities in Morocco in line with a new agreement with the government.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
