A recent report by the British magazine “The Economist,” known for its economic analyses, affirmed that Morocco has become a prominent industrial and commercial power on the global stage. Benefiting from massive investments and advanced infrastructure, it has become a model for attracting global companies.
The report highlighted that the kingdom has attracted approximately $40 billion in new industrial investments since 2020, resulting in a two-thirds increase in exports over five years. This growth is a direct consequence of incentivizing investment policies and major projects across various sectors.
In this context, infrastructure has played a pivotal role. The high-speed train connects major cities, while ports like Tangier Med are expanding to become key gateways to Europe. Special economic zones have attracted major international companies in the automotive, aviation, and energy sectors, reflecting Morocco’s ability to provide an appealing environment for investors.
According to the report, the automotive sector has witnessed remarkable growth. Morocco has become the leading exporter of cars and spare parts to Europe, surpassing China and Japan, with investments exceeding $8 billion since 2012. Global suppliers for major companies have established their presence within the kingdom, further enhancing its standing as a comprehensive industrial hub.
Morocco is not limited to the automotive sector. Solar and wind energy projects, along with transcontinental gas pipelines, demonstrate the kingdom’s capacity to blend its strategic geographical location with smart investments to bolster its status as an indispensable commercial and industrial center.
The report emphasized that Chinese and European investments, along with global companies settled in Casablanca’s financial hub, confirm that Morocco has become a preferred choice for investors. This positions the kingdom at the heart of global economic dynamics, continuously enhancing its presence in European, African, and Asian markets.
