Moroccan Families: Key Findings from the High Commission for Statistics’ Q3 2025 Report
The High Commission for Statistics (HCP) has released its periodic survey results regarding the economic situation of families during the third quarter of 2025, revealing a notable decline in family confidence and a generally negative outlook on the economic situation.
The HCP reported that the Household Confidence Index (HCI) stood at 53.6 points, reflecting deteriorating spirits among Moroccan families. Approximately 78% of families believe that their living standards have decreased over the past twelve months, while only 5% noted an improvement.
Expectations for the coming year remain bleak, with 51.4% of families anticipating another decline in living standards, and 70.5% expecting an increase in unemployment rates.
This situation is also impacting consumption, as 69.4% of families believe that it is not a suitable time to purchase durable goods, reflecting ongoing caution towards economic uncertainty.
Financially, 59% of families feel that their incomes are sufficient to cover their expenses, while 38.7% need to borrow or tap into their savings. Only 2.3% of families are able to save a portion of their income. Additionally, nearly half of families (50.6%) reported a decline in their financial situation over the past year.
Looking to the future, 14.3% of families hope for an improvement in their financial situation next year, while 24.3% fear deterioration. Only 9.6% of families believe they will be able to save in the coming twelve months, indicating limited confidence in economic recovery.
Inflation remains a significant concern, with 95.7% of families noting an increase in food prices over the past year, and 81.8% expecting further increases in the coming months.
These findings reflect a socially and economically tense climate, characterized by families’ apprehension towards purchasing power developments, job security, and living costs.
