Moulay Hafid Elalamy is exiting Paris real estate to focus on Saham Group’s banking expansion, including acquiring Société Générale’s Moroccan operations.
His vision has transformed Morocco’s insurance sector and shaped Africa’s financial and industrial landscape.
The acquisition marks a strategic shift for Saham Group as it absorbs all activities, client portfolios, and employees of the acquired entities.
Elalamy made the donation through his Saham Foundation amid growing contributions from various private and public entities toward earthquake relief in Morocco.
The newly amended agreement was signed on Sept. 3 in Casablanca, Morocco’s capital.
