                     ATTESTATION OF THE STATUTORY AUDITORS
                       FROM JANUARY 1ST TO JUNE 30, 2003

                    (Free translation from French original)


Pursuant to the regulation in force, we have conduced a limited review of the
interim consolidated balance sheet and off-balance sheet of the Banque Marocaine
du Commerce Exterieur as of June 30, 2003, and of the consolidated management
balances statement, for the first semester running from the 1st January to June
30, 2003, in accordance with the professional standards.


An allowance for general risks, featured as a voluntary reserve and previously
constituted after tax for an amount of MAD 150 million, is now considered to
cover different identified risks. Thus, this allowance is no more considered as
shareholder's equity.


On the basis of our limited review and except what is mentioned above, we did
not notice any fact likely to tarnish, significantly, the sincerity of the
information contained in these documents.
