Descriptiontext

Saham Group is a Moroccan private investment conglomerate headquartered in Casablanca, founded in 1995. The company operates across five distinct sectors: financial services, outsourced services, real estate, education, and agriculture, positioning it as a horizontally diversified holding company rather than a focused operator in any single vertical. With 10,000+ employees, Saham is one of the largest private-sector employers in Morocco.

The company's most notable recent strategic action was the April 15, 2024 acquisition of Société Générale Maroc from Société Générale (France) for €745 million. This transaction brought Société Générale's Moroccan banking subsidiary under domestic Moroccan ownership, representing a significant shift in the Moroccan banking sector and positioning Saham as a material player in Moroccan financial services. The deal was framed as boosting Moroccan ownership of banks and encouraging further industry consolidation in the country.

Saham operates primarily across North Africa, with Morocco as its principal market. As a privately held investment company with no public listing, limited financial disclosures are publicly available. The group's strategy of multi-sector investment positions it as a diversified private-equity-style vehicle, with the Société Générale Maroc acquisition signaling increased commitment to the financial services vertical specifically while maintaining exposure to outsourced services, real estate, education, and agriculture.
