Abstract: Diversity is Morocco's brand par excellence, whether it be ideological, cultural, or economic. This diversity is tightly related to the values of dialogue and consensus for the sake of continuity and coexistence. Morocco's "one and indivisible national identity" (Morocco's Constitution of 2011) operates through practical standards, far from any propaganda. The Jewish community's visibility is undeniable, and it subscribes to the value of belonging to Morocco. Moroccan Jews' socio-economic and cultural determinism evinces their pragmatic philosophy whenever it comes to Moroccan national interest. The exploratory target of this study is to stand on the involvement of Moroccan Jews in the fulfilment of King Mohammed VI's ambitious economic project and then assess their complementarity to promote Moroccan foreign economy. In a more transparent manner, the power notion underlying Moroccan Jews is then embedded in their ability to handle economic matters intelligently. The pertinent questions are: to what extent do Moroccan Jews bring forth their powerful economic skills? By what mechanisms do they play a leading role on regional and trans-regional scales using economic intelligence? The study is suggested to fill a gap in Moroccan literature concerning Moroccan Jews' economic intelligence by conducting analysis through targeted case studies. The findings of this research clearly show the strong belonging of Moroccan Jews to the Alaouite Monarch and their distinguished sense of patriotism. Their economic contribution was demonstrated on multiple occasions.
