Standard Chartered expects Morocco GDP growth to reach 4.5% in 2026, citing the country’s economic resilience and stronger growth prospects. The forecast is supported by expanding industrial activity, robust tourism performance, resilient consumer demand, and continued investment across key sectors.<\/p>\n
According to the bank’s latest research, Morocco continues to record sustained momentum in manufacturing, tourism, and domestic demand. These trends reflect the growing diversification of the national economy and its ability to generate growth from multiple sectors.<\/p>\n
The report indicates that ongoing investments and the expansion of industrial capacity will remain important drivers of economic activity. Improved agricultural conditions are also expected to contribute to growth. A harvest that exceeds current expectations could provide additional support to the country’s economic outlook.<\/p>\n
Standard Chartered noted that global companies are increasingly diversifying supply chains and investment flows. In this context, Morocco’s strategic location, industrial capabilities, and transport connectivity strengthen its competitive position. The country is reinforcing its role as a gateway linking Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East through expanding trade relationships and investment opportunities.<\/p>\n
Cynthia El Asmar, Chief Executive Officer and Head of Coverage at Standard Chartered Morocco, said the country continues to demonstrate strong economic fundamentals and the effectiveness of its long-term development strategy. She stated that Morocco has built a diversified economy supported by an expanding industrial base, growing trade links, and sustained investment in strategic sectors.<\/p>\n
She added that Morocco’s combination of industrial capacity, connectivity, and investment in priority industries continues to strengthen its position as a bridge between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. As global trade and investment patterns evolve, the country remains well positioned to attract capital, support private sector expansion, and benefit from new economic opportunities.<\/p>\n
The bank concluded that Morocco’s strong economic fundamentals, industrial development, and strategic geographic position continue to support its long-term investment appeal. As the country deepens its integration into global trade and investment networks while building on strengths in manufacturing, infrastructure, and tourism, it is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
