They are three! Three research works out of 20 shortlisted were distinguished during the award ceremony of the first edition of the “Bank Al-Maghrib Prize for economic and financial research”.
This biannual distinction is open to young Moroccan researchers who have defended their doctoral thesis in economics or finance in national or foreign higher education establishments. Each edition has two prizes (“Excellence” and “Encouragement”).
Note that the jury reserves the right to award a third, the “Coup de coeur” prize. Thus the Central Bank wishes to reward not only the work carried out by young researchers but also to promote the laboratories and research centers in which they carried out their doctoral theses.
Abdellatif Jouahri, wali of BAM, who presided over the ceremony, said that this initiative is part of the strategy of openness and cooperation with the academic world that the institution has implemented in recent years.
“It is also part of our CSR policy which embodies our ethical values and reaffirms our commitment and our contribution to the objectives of sustainable development”, he underlines.
And to add that “for this first edition, we received 49 contributions following the call for applications. The reading committee, made up of university professors and experts, selected five. The latter were invited to present their work during the meeting of the jury which was held on February 24, 2023”. After deliberation, the jury decided unanimously to award three candidates.
The winners of this first edition
The Excellence Prize is awarded to Ilhame Lagrine, for his research work entitled “Crises of sudden stops across countries and decades”, carried out as part of his doctoral thesis defended at the University of Rennes I. Salma Slimani was awarded the Encouragement Prize for his research work entitled “The effects of budgetary and monetary shocks on the Moroccan economy: estimation of a DSGE model”, carried out as part of his doctoral thesis defended at Mohammed V University Rabat.
