  • Activite De La Bancassurance
    ACTIVITE DE LA BANCASSURANCE -EXERCICE 2017- Note réalisée sur la base des chiffres et données communiqués par le réseau de la bancassurance dans le délai réglementaire du 30 avril 2018. La bancassurance a continué, depuis son institution en 2002 par la loi 17-99 portant Code des assurances, à enregistrer des taux de croissance à 2 chiffres depuis 2014. En 2017, cette progression a été de 21% par rapport à 2016. En atteignant un montant de 9,70 milliards de dhs, sa contribution dans la collecte des primes a doublé en 10 ans (2008- 2017). Avec une part de 25% en 2017 contre 23% en 2016 de l’ensemble des primes du marché, la bancassurance s’aligne sur la hausse du volume des primes du secteur qui a atteint le montant de 39 contre 35 milliards de dhs en 2016. Constituant la véritable source de mobilisation de l’épargne, l’assurance «vie et capitalisation» reste la principale activité pour les bancassureurs. Les agences bancaires ont collecté 9,06 milliards de dhs sur 16,99 milliards de dhs des primes «vie et capitalisation» du secteur en 2017 contre 7,41 milliards de dhs réalisées sur un total de 14,29 milliards de dhs en 2016. A signaler que cette contribution de la bancassurance dans la collecte des primes de cette branche dans le chiffre d’affaires du secteur ne s’est pas faite au détriment du réseau classique qui a maintenu sa part de 47% au niveau de l’assurance «vie et capitalisation». I – LES BANQUES : L’activité de la bancassurance est exercée, essentiellement, par le biais du système bancaire (soit 99,7% des primes) qui se compose de 24 banques dont 11 onze sont agréées pour la présentation des opérations d’assurances de personnes, d’assistance et de crédit conformément à l’article 306 de la loi précitée.

  • Trading Mechanisms, Return's Volatility and Efficiency in the Casablanca
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Trading mechanisms, return’s volatility and efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange FERROUHI, El Mehdi and EZZAHID, Elhadj Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco July 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/77322/ MPRA Paper No. 77322, posted 06 Mar 2017 15:24 UTC Trading mechanisms, return’s volatility and efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange El Mehdi FERROUHI and Elhadj EZZAHID Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco This paper studies the impact of the stock market continuity on the returns volatility and on the market efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange. For the most active stocks, the trading mechanism used is the continuous market which is preceded by a call market pre-opening session. Results obtained concerning return volatility and efficiency under the two trading mechanisms show that the continuous market returns are more volatile than the call market returns and 50 percent of stocks studied show independence between variations. Keywords: Trading mechanism, microstructure, call market, continuous market, efficiency, volatility 1. Introduction The microstructure of financial markets is the discipline that studies the modalities of the operational functioning of financial markets and the mechanisms that lead to the determination of prices at which stocks are exchanged. Thus, it discusses the impact of trading mechanisms on the pattern of financial markets. In this paper we will focus in the impacts of trading mechanisms, which differ from a market to other, on return’s volatility and market efficiency. Some stock markets apply the “call market” in which trading and orders executions occur at regular time intervals. All transactions are conducted at a single price determined to balance the sales and purchases orders.
