The Casablanca Stock Exchange has postponed its annual review of the free-float and capping factors for its indices. The Index Scientific Committee made the decision at its meeting on 30 October 2026, according to a statement issued by the Casablanca Stock Exchange.

The Casablanca Stock Exchange has postponed until a later date the annual review of the free-float factors and capping factors for its indices. The decision was taken on 30 October 2026 by the Casablanca Stock Exchange Index Scientific Committee, according to a statement issued by the Moroccan operator the same day.

The review had come into effect on 29 October. The postponement comes after the Casablanca Stock Exchange recently launched two MASI.20 indices with dividends, then restored the MASI’s previous weightings following a decision concerning Managem, according to TelQuel.

The decision is part of a recent series of index adjustments on Morocco’s financial market, following the launch of the two MASI.20 indices with dividends on 28 October and the restoration of the MASI’s previous weightings on 31 October.
