Morocco Maintains Its Investment Appeal, Ranking Sixth Regionally in Foreign Investment Flows
A report from FDI 2025 published by the Financial Times confirms that Morocco continued to affirm its allure in the realm of foreign direct investment during 2024, ranking sixth regionally in the Middle East and Africa.
Morocco recorded 96 announced investment projects, reflecting a slight increase of 1.1% compared to the previous year, despite a regional context impacted by declining capital flows globally.
The report noted that the volume of foreign direct investment in the region decreased by more than 40%, reaching $158.3 billion, while the number of projects remained relatively stable, indicating a trend towards lower financial commitments in an economically cautious global climate.
The United Arab Emirates topped the regional ranking with over 1,300 projects, followed by Saudi Arabia and South Africa, while Egypt attracted substantial capital through strategic projects, notably the industrial complex being developed by the Chinese company Hebei Shinfeng Steel and the development of the new city of Ras Hikma.
Morocco continues to strengthen its position as a preferred destination for investors thanks to its political stability and strategic location as an industrial and logistical gateway to Africa, alongside the stimulating economic policies implemented by the Kingdom.
