Country Intelligence Information

 

            Country:            Morocco

            Date:                19/06/2012  00:00:00

            Source:             Economist Intelligence Unit

 

            Economy:         Fiscal situation remains difficult in the first quarter

            Government expenditure rose by 13.9% year on year in the first quarter of 2012, to Dh61.2bn

            (US$7bn). Current spending (excluding subsidies) grew at a rapid rate of 8.7% to Dh46.3bn, but

            subsidy costs were the main driver of the sharp rise in spending, increasing by 33.8% year on year to

            Dh14.9bn. This follows a surge in subsidy spending in 2011 and therefore comes off an already

            elevated base. The energy import bill grew by 27.2% year on year in the first quarter of 2012, to

            Dh21bn. Subsidies are a major burden on the public finances and are also highly erratic. In

            1999‑2004 the cost of subsidies did not exceed an average of Dh5bn a year. Between 2005 and 2011

            it ranged between Dh11bn in 2005 and a peak of Dh49bn in 2011, more than 50% higher than its

            previous record level in 2008 (Dh31bn). The new government has suggested that it will introduce a

 

 

            long‑awaited reform of the subsidy fund by the end of 2012 (February 2012, Economic policy), but the

            authorities are likely to tread carefully in such a politically sensitive area, and any proposal is unlikely

            to change the situation radically.

 

            The wage bill remains another major strain on the public finances. It has grown from an annual

            average of Dh48bn in 1999‑2004 to Dh89bn in 2011. The wages and salaries bill expanded by 17%

            year on year to Dh24.9bn in the first quarter of 2012, accounting for 41% of ordinary expenditure. In

            these particularly turbulent times, the government will find it hard to cut back the public‑sector

            workforce.

 

            Risk:     Sovereign risk

 

            Stable. Morocco's fiscal account will remain deeply in deficit, owing to high recurrent expenditure on

            subsidies and wages, but the shortfalls should be financed mostly by borrowing from domestic

            banks, thus keeping the external debt stock in check, although some new borrowing is likely.

 

            Currency risk

 

            Stable. The current exchange‑rate system—a managed float—will remain in place. The Moroccan

            dirham will strengthen against the troubled euro, causing exporters problems in their main market,

            but the central bank has some capacity to intervene, although foreign‑exchange reserves are falling.

 

            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, but government

            borrowing from the banks is a concern.

 

            Political risk

 

            The government will increase public spending in the short term to quell political and social protests

            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 movements in international commodity prices but are  manageable.
