Consumers should be well protected by us online retailers, but also by the banking system.
The first generation of e-stores was composed in its majority of young computer that had the ease of creating and deploying e-commerce sites. Some enjoyed an international experience, allowing them to stand out from the others.
The first generation of e-merchants lost us the trust of thousands of customers by their contempt for customers and their proven incompetence at all levels. Moreover, e-store 217 of them has declared bankruptcy and more than a hundred have shelved their activities (Source: Audit report of ecommerce website 2018). Weak service delivery and payment platform in Morocco between 2001 and 2017 has contributed significantly to the worsening of this situation.
Today FNEM brings together a new generation of e-stores, producers and distributors qualified in this case, through its various programs that have enabled the sector to gain momentum and offer a catalogue of more than 1 million references to domestic and international consumers.

The release our stranglehold sector of several associations, federations and private companies that have reproduced labels, trade shows, and programs that have not led to the end of the monopoly of Morocco Télécommerce were certainly a big step before, but they were expensive in the image of FNEM and its president, Amine El Serhani.
