Economic Drivers

Focusing on long-term stability and development

Morocco realizes that reducing poverty and creating jobs is the only way to long-term stability and development and has signed two key free trade agreements in order to increase Foreign Direct Investment.

Driving up foreign trade and investment

In 2004 Morocco signed a free trade agreement with the US, which came into force 1 January 2006, meaning that 98% of bilateral trade in consumer and industrial products is duty free (previously subject to tariffs of up to 20%).

Morocco has also signed up to a European-Mediterranean free zone incorporating 27 countries and to come into effect in 2010.

Foreign Direct Investment in Morocco has been increasing year-on-year and rose from 1.07 billion USD in 2004 to 2.9 billion USD in 2005.

France remains intrinsically linked to the Moroccan economy being the first creditor and first foreign investor in Morocco as well as the primary trade partner - supplier and customer.

Tourism objectives

Tourism is seen as a solution to Morocco's overdependence on unreliable agriculture and indeed with a rich landscape and year-round sunshine, the country has much to offer.

King Mohammed VI is doing much to incentivise tourism with a target of 10 million visitors annually by 2010.
