The National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (French: Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications; ANRT) is the strategic public institution responsible for regulating the telecommunications sector in Morocco. Established in 1998 and attached to the Head of Government, it operates with financial and legal autonomy.
The ANRT was established following Law No. 24-96, which liberalized the Moroccan telecommunications market and ended the monopoly previously held by the Office National des Postes et Télécommunications (ONPT).
