During the same period, the local currency dirham depreciated by 0.01 percent against the euro and by 0.03 percent against the U.S. dollar, the report added.  

In mid-January 2018, Morocco started the gradual floating of its currency by raising the official band of dirham's fluctuation to 2.5 percent above or below the official rate from the previous 0.3 percent.  

The dirham is pegged to a two-currency basket weighted 60 percent to the euro and 40 percent to the U.S. dollar.
