The governor also disclosed that his organization has consulted with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the standards that would be used.

Before Jouhari's most recent statements, CoinGabbar News revealed in March 2022 that the Moroccan central bank was in discussions with two major financial organizations in addition to the central banks of France, Sweden, and Switzerland. According to the central bank, the discussions at the time were centered on the best methods for regulating cryptocurrency.

Jouhari stated that the framework under development will strengthen Morocco's money laundering and anti-terrorism funding legislation in addition to addressing difficulties with the regulation of cryptocurrencies.
Although the central bank has previously acknowledged that Moroccans are likely to adopt cryptocurrencies, BAM has regularly issued warnings about the risks connected with cryptocurrency use, together with the Ministry of Finance and the Moroccan Capital Market Authority.
