FIRST SEMESTER 2003 RESULTS -AGGREGATED ACTIVITY-
BMCE BANK
GROSS OPERATING INCOME +31.1%
NET BANKING INCOME +7.7%
The BMCE Bank Board of Directors meeting was held on September 26th, 2003,
chaired by Mr Othman BENJELLOUN, at the Bank's head office. It examined the
bank's activity during the first semester 2003 as well as the related accounts.
In addition, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the principle of sealing
a partnership of economic, financial and societal dimension with the Groupe
Caisse d'Epargne -GCE-. The industrial aspect of this partnership is related to
an equity participation, through the acquisition of 20% stake by GCE in the
Capital of BMCE Bank, as stated in the letter of intent dated September 25th,
2003, sent by the chairman of GCE to the chairman of BMCE Bank.
This transaction is subject to the agreement of the monetary and regulatory
authorities, whose decision making bodies will meet soon. After the final
signature of the partnership between the two banks, it is agreed that this
equity holding in the capital of BMCE Bank would be acquired by GCE at 500
dirhams per share.
Financial performances on a sustained rise thanks to the banking activity growth
and overheads monitoring.
Financial Highlights
+7.7% increase in the Net Banking Income, to 1.14 billion MAD as of June 30,
2003 against 1.06 billion MAD as of end-June 2002, thanks in particular to the
rise of the net interest income (+6.6%)
-3.5% decrease in the general operating expenses, inducing around 6 percentage
points improvement in the cost to income ratio that went down from 54.87% to
49.14%.
+31.1% rise in the Gross Operating Income due to overheads monitoring and the
favourable growth of the operating banking activity.

growth trend, as shown in the rise of indicators such as (i) the number of
customer accounts with 26,000 new accounts opened, (ii) the Bank's distribution
network reinforced with 6 new branches, (iii) the number of bancassurance

desk in Madrid dedicated to the Moroccan Expatriates activity and the starting

BMCE BANK
ATTESTATION OF THE STATUTORY AUDITORS
FROM JANUARY 1st TO JUNE 30, 2003
According to article 17 of the Dahir related to the law ndegrees 1-93-212 of
September 21st, 1993, we have conducted a limited review of the interim balance
sheetsituation of the Banque Marocaine du Commerce Exterieur "BMCE Bank" for
the first semester running from January 1st to June 30, 2003, as well as the
turnover amounts.
We conducted our limited review in accordance with the professional standards
and given the prevailing legal and statutory conditions.
An allowance for general risks, featured as a voluntary reserve and previously
constituted after tax for an amount of MAD 150 millions, is now considered to
cover different identified risks. Thus, this allowance is no longer considered
as shareholder's equity.
On the basis of our limited review and except from the matter mentioned in the
paragraph above, we did not identify any fact likely to affect, significantly,
the sincerity of information contained in these documents.
