Full analysis

Morocco is experiencing a multi-year FDI surge, attracting $6 billion in foreign direct investment in 2025 alone — a 73% increase versus 2021 — driven by investor confidence in its stable political framework, proximity to European markets, and ambitious industrial policies. The country now ranks second in Africa for FDI attractiveness. Macro GDP growth is projected at 3.8–4.1% for 2025–2026, underpinned by manufacturing, tourism, financial services, and construction. A landmark revised EU-Morocco trade liberalisation agreement was approved in October 2025, restoring preferential access for Moroccan exports to the EU. Meanwhile, a domestic infrastructure super-cycle is underway ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the co-hosted 2030 FIFA World Cup, driving construction output growth of 3.9% in real terms in 2025. Morocco's Maroc Digital 2025 strategy is accelerating its emergence as a regional tech and BPO hub, while China's Gotion is set to open the country's first EV battery gigafactory in 2026, deepening its automotive and green-tech industrial ecosystem.

Morocco's information technology sector is rapidly expanding, positioning the country as a competitive hub for digital innovation, backed by the government's Maroc Digital 2025 strategy. FDI into high-value-added sectors such as aeronautics and digital services hit $6 billion in 2025, with investor confidence at a historic high — creating a tight window to co-invest in capacity expansions alongside established operators before market saturation sets in.
