Economy:                     Trade deficit widens in first quarter

                                    May 1st 2012

 

Data from the Office des changes for the first quarter of 2012 show that the cost of imports of energy products increased by 27% year on year to Dh21bn (US$2.45bn), resulting in an 8.8% rise in total import costs to Dh93.2bn and a widening of the trade deficit (on a fob‑cif basis) to Dh48.9bn. The import bill for crude oil grew by 19.2% to Dh7.8bn. Imports of petroleum gas and other hydrocarbons products increased by 38.2% to Dh5.2bn, and those of gas oils and fuel oils expanded by 29% to Dh8bn.

 

The more modest growth in exports of phosphates and derivatives (2.4% to Dh10.4bn) after a year of strong earnings growth, and of other exports (4.9% to Dh33.9bn), combined with a significant decline in imports of wheat (45% to Dh2.8bn), has only partly offset the impact of rising energy imports on the trade balance. According to the Office des changes, wheat imports declined in volume terms by 39% to 1,029 tonnes, thanks to a strong cereals harvest in the previous season, and the average price dropped by 9% as global food prices moderated. However, poorer prospects for the cereal harvest in the 2012 season mean that wheat import volumes are likely to rise later in the year.

Overall, the export/import coverage ratio deteriorated by 2.1 percentage points to 47.6%.

 

Revenue from tourism stagnated at around Dh12bn and inflows from foreign direct investment and portfolio investment rose only marginally (1.5% year on year to Dh7bn) in the first quarter of 2012. In contrast, remittances from Moroccans living abroad rose by 5.5% to Dh13.5bn, surprisingly given the dire economic climate in the euro area, where most expatriates live. This has helped mitigate some of the impact on the banking system of a net outflow of foreign exchange caused by a surge in the trade deficit in 2011. The 2011 trade deficit (fob‑cif) reached a record Dh185bn in local‑currency terms, easily exceeding the deficit of Dh170bn in 2008.

 

Risk:     April 1st 2012

 

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.

 

Currency risk

Stable. The current exchange‑rate system—a managed float—will remain in place. The Moroccan dirham will strengthen 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 rural Moroccans and expatriates to save in an effort to improve liquidity

 

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.
