Morocco’s economy is growing at its fastest pace in over ten years, buoyed by a surge in infrastructure investment and an agricultural rebound, said the World Bank in latest report released Thursday.
According to the WB outlook, Morocco’s growth is expected to remain solid at 4.2 % in 2026, supported by continued investment and domestic demand.
However, headwinds remain, including the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on energy import costs and freight prices, with an estimated drag of 0.8 % points on Morocco’s pre-conflict growth.
Morocco’s economic resilience is commendable and the country’s growth momentum is real, said the WB Director for the Maghreb Ahmadou Moustapha Ndiaye, calling for a push to unlock the new sources of productivity in the Kingdom.
“Digital transformation is the most powerful lever available and Morocco has both the ambition and the foundation to make it work”, underlined the WB official.
