The construction and public works sector in Morocco is preparing to enter a new phase, with expectations of substantial investments amounting to 122 billion dirhams by 2030. This move reflects what stakeholders describe as a “shift in the pace” of developing this vital sector.
This investment program is anticipated to provide a powerful boost to the real estate market and infrastructure projects, responding to the growing demand for housing, roads, public facilities, and urban development initiatives.
The expected dynamism will have wide-ranging social and economic impacts, notably creating direct and indirect job opportunities in construction, civil engineering, and related activities, alongside improving quality of life through updating public facilities and enhancing their efficiency and sustainability. Projects aimed at emerging or remote areas are also expected to support more balanced territorial development.
This plan emphasizes a progressive integration of sustainability standards by promoting green building practices, adopting environmentally friendly materials, and directing investments towards facilities that are better equipped to face climate challenges. This aligns with the national direction towards more resilient and environmentally respectful infrastructure.
However, the scale and ambition of these investments present significant implementation challenges, requiring close coordination between the public and private sectors, ensuring transparency in tender processes, as well as mobilizing sustainable financing mechanisms. The sector’s ability to transform these plans into tangible projects will be a critical test of the governance of the entire system.
