ONCF Awarded ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Certification for All Operations
The certificate was granted on March 3 and covers all ONCF activities and work sites across the country, the company said in a press release.
It added that the Moroccan Institute for Standardization (IMANOR) issued the certification after a thorough audit carried out between January 27 and 29 this year.
The ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Certification is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help organizations prevent, detect, and address bribery.
It was published in 2016 to provide a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an anti-bribery management system (ABMS).
ONCF says this recognition reflects its strong commitment to ethics, transparency, and responsible governance.
By obtaining the ISO 37001 certificate, ONCF says it aims to build a workplace culture based on integrity and the prevention of bribery risks, following the best international practices.
The anti-bribery system features a defined policy that aligns with international standards. It includes a comprehensive framework for preventing and managing bribery risks, a system for identifying and handling conflicts of interest, continuous training and awareness programs for employees, and a secure whistleblowing mechanism that promotes transparency and accountability across the organization.
ONCF also stated that it has carefully identified, analyzed, and addressed all bribery-related risks as part of its continuous improvement strategy.
This certification reflects the collaborative efforts and strong mobilization of its teams, the company noted, concluding that it marks an important milestone in reinforcing good governance and a strong ethical foundation within the organization.

Morocco Emerges as Major Hub for Foreign Industrial Investment
Morocco, under the Leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, is establishing itself as a major hub for foreign industrial investment, particularly in the railway sector, said Jeong Hoon Kim, an executive at Korean conglomerate Hyundai Rotem. 'It is impressive to see Morocco's ability to steadily pursue a long-term development plan, thanks to the Leadership of His Majesty the King,' said Kim, head of rail solutions at Hyundai Rotem, in an interview with MAP on the occasion of the celebration of the Glorious Throne Day. Expressing admiration for the harmonious development of several sectors in Morocco over the past two decades, as well as the Kingdom's 'remarkable' resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kim said Morocco represents a strategic long-term market for Hyundai Rotem, offering numerous opportunities for industrial and technological partnerships. 'We have been following the Moroccan market for more than ten years, and the recent signing of our contract with the National Railways Office (ONCF) for the delivery of RER trains marks a concrete first milestone in our commitment,' he said, reaffirming the group's intention to be part of a sustainable cooperation dynamic. Kim also voiced interest in the Morocco Rail Plan 2040, which he described as an 'ambitious roadmap' for the expansion of the Kingdom's railway network, emphasizing Hyundai Rotem's desire to actively contribute to it. According to the Korean official, Morocco's political and economic stability is a key factor in attracting foreign investors, citing the example of Korean company Hands Corporation, which has established a car parts manufacturing plant in Morocco exclusively for the European market. 'This is a win-win cooperation model that we aim to replicate,' he said. Aware of Morocco's prioritization of renewable energies and its potential in green hydrogen, Kim said the sector represents a promising new area for cooperation. MAP: 28 July 2025

Trump's Tariff Escalation Draws Global Rebuke, Strategic Responses
US President Donald Trump announced yesterday steep new tariffs on imports from over 20 countries, targeting long-standing trade partners and smaller economies with what he calls a 'national security correction.' The most severe blow landed on Brazil, which now faces a 50% tariff on its goods. In a letter posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump accused Brazil's leadership of undermining democracy and free speech, referring to the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pushed back, warning that any unilateral measure would be met with a response 'in accordance with Brazilian law.' The letters, which assign individual rates ranging from 20 to 50%, went out to countries including Algeria, Sri Lanka, Iraq, Brunei, Moldova, and the Philippines. None of these countries represent major industrial threats to the US, and their combined trade imbalance with Washington amounts to a negligible figure in the context of America's $30 trillion economy. Countries reaction While Trump's message drew alarm, not every country answered with confrontation. In Tokyo, Japan's chief trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said talks with the US would continue. He underlined Japan's interest in safeguarding its automotive exports, which alone account for about 1 percent of the country's GDP. Akazawa, however, ruled out any compromise on agriculture, a politically sensitive issue in an election year. South Korea struck a similar tone, expressing interest in resolving the trade deficit that the US cited. Seoul's Ministry of Trade described the moment as a chance to rework domestic systems and reach common ground with Washington. In contrast, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's office issued a sharp rebuke. His statement dismissed the 30% tariff as unfounded, claiming it does not reflect trade realities. According to Pretoria, most US goods enter South Africa without any tariff, and the country's average import duty stands at just over 7%. South Africa signaled it would pursue diplomatic channels to seek a more balanced deal. The Philippines, Brunei, and other Southeast Asian countries named in Trump's letters have not responded publicly. While their trade volumes with the US remain modest, officials in Manila and Bandar Seri Begawan are reportedly evaluating whether to quietly engage with US envoys or coordinate with regional partners. Vietnam, facing earlier threats of a 46% tariff, recently signed a deal that reduces its rate to 20%, in exchange for opening its domestic market. Trump's new tariff push also carries geopolitical undertones. Days before his letter to Brazil, he warned of additional tariffs for any country that aligns itself with BRICS, the economic bloc that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and recently expanded to include Egypt, Iran, Indonesia, and the UAE. According to Trump, countries supporting what he called 'anti-American policies' would face an additional 10% tariff. Meanwhile, of the 90 countries initially given a three-month negotiation window, only two, the UK and Vietnam, have reached a deal so far. Trump has expressed doubt about future agreements, saying Japan and others 'have gotten too comfortable ripping us off.' His letters to world leaders end with the same sentence: 'These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.' It is a statement open to interpretation – part threat, part invitation. For now, world capitals are left to interpret Trump's words and his intent. Some may negotiate. Others may retaliate. But few, if any, are treating this tariff campaign as business as usual. Tags: tariffstradeTrumpUSus tariffs
