Country Intelligence Information

 

Country:                       Morocco

Date:                            21/02/2012  00:00:00

Source:                        Economist Intelligence Unit

 

Economy:                     Economy grew by 4.8% in third quarter of 2011

                                    January 11th 2012

 

Morocco's economy expanded by 4.8% year on year in real terms in the third quarter of 2011, compared with growth of 3.1% in the same period of 2010. According to the Haut commissariat au plan, Morocco's statistics agency, domestic demand was the primary driver of growth. Private consumption rose by 7.3% year on year and government consumption was up by 5.2%. Fixed investment rose by 4.6%. However, imports of goods and services continued to be exert a major drag on economic performance, up nearly 15% year on year, a faster pace than at the start of 2011, while export volume growth has slowed. At a meeting of its board, Bank al‑Maghrib (BAM; the central bank) revised down its estimate of overall 2011 GDP growth to between 4% and 5% from 4.5% to 5.5% (the Economist Intelligence Unit estimates the economy expanded by 4.4%). The bank cited lower tourism revenue and weaker exports of phosphates and associated products. BAM expects 2012 real GDP growth of 4‑5% unless                                    there is a serious deterioration in European economies, but we forecast that growth will be weaker.

 

Post and telecommunications was the fastest growing segment of the economy, up 19% in real terms to the end of September while social spending and construction and public works also recorded significant growth rates of 8.1% and 7.1% respectively. Agriculture, the single largest component of Morocco's economy, expanded by 4.1%. Hotels and restaurants shrank in the third quarter by 2.6% year on year. Given that this period encompassed the summer months, in which Morocco generally receives large amounts of tourists, the decline in this sector confirms reports that visitors, particularly those from Europe, are reducing travel to Morocco. The absence of large numbers of European tourists who may be reluctant to spend on holidays abroad given the precarious economic conditions at home, has been compounded by the fact that the Islamic holy month of Ramadan fell in the month of August in 2011. Ramadan will continue to fall in summer months for the next six years.

 

Risk: January 16th 2012

 

                                    Sovereign risk

 

                                    Stable.

 

Morocco's sovereign debt risk has been downgraded to B. The fiscal account will remain deeply in deficit, owing to high recurrent expenditure on subsidies and wages, but this should be financed mostly by borrowing from domestic banks.

 

Currency risk

 

Stable. The current exchange‑rate system—a managed float—will remain in place. The Moroccan dirham is strengthening against the euro, but the central bank has the capacity to intervene if necessary to protect exporters.

 

Banking sector risk

Stable. The banking sector has benefited from prudential regulation, relatively low levels of non‑performing loans (although these are rising) and limited direct foreign exposure. The government       is encouraging saving among rural Moroccans and expatriates in an effort to improve liquidity.

 

Political risk

The government will increase public spending in the short term to quell political and social unrest over unemployment and poverty. Tensions over the disputed territory of Western Sahara may also lead to violent demonstrations.

 

Economic structure risk

Dependence on agriculture leaves economic performance vulnerable to weather conditions. The fiscal and external deficits fluctuate in line with international commodity prices but are manageable.
