A report evaluating the investment environment in Morocco

Allianz Research, a department specialized in economic analysis, study and evaluation of financial risks worldwide, issued the report “Country Risk Atlas: Under the Surface”.

The report explained that Morocco maintains a low business risk rating of B1, which indicates that the country’s business environment is relatively stable and suitable for investment compared to other countries facing higher economic or political risks.

The document expects Morocco’s GDP to grow by 3.7% in 2026 and 3.5% in 2027, thus increasing economic activity and creating new job opportunities. This growth is due to the expansion of industrial production and the attraction of foreign investments, especially in the fields of manufacturing, energy and mining. With agricultural production recovering after years of drought. The tourism sector is also expected to increase by about 20% thanks to the organization of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

As for the debt-to-domestic product ratio, which is a measure of the amount of debt compared to the size of the economy, the report expects it to begin declining in 2024, which is an indicator of relative financial stability.

While also warning of structural challenges that include a rise in bankruptcies in some sectors, a high unemployment rate among young people, in addition to the dominance of the informal sector.

The same source also clarifies the focus of Morocco’s future strategies on developing infrastructure, attracting investments, and diversifying the economy, while strengthening its role as a regional center for renewable energy and linking it to international markets, despite the persistence of some global economic pressures.
