Morocco's economy

Morocco is considered to be a lower-middle-income country. This is evident when taking a closer look at GDP per capita: In 2014, Morocco's GDP per capita was only around 3,311.76 U.S. dollars, increasing slightly from around 2,926.67 U.S. dollars per capita in 2010. However, the future looks better - GDP per capita is expected to increase at a higher rate than previously due to strong economic growth that is projected. Low inflation will also help.

The country is expected to experience growth rates in the range of 3 to 5 percent each year. This growth is a result of a diversified economy and a push towards advancing the industrial sector. It is hoped that advancements in the industrial sector will help reduce stubbornly high unemployment which is expected to remain above 9 percent. Currently, 13 percent of economic growth is attributed to the agricultural sector - but production capacity is largely dependent on annual rainfall -, close to 30 percent pertains to the industrial sector and another 60 percent pertains to services.

GDP growth in Morocco has also benefitted from the drop in oil prices, as it is import-dependent regarding its energy supply. However, Morocco must prepare itself for when prices rise to previous levels again. However, overall, the outlook for Morocco is bright, but it will need to focus on competitiveness and productivity.
