morocco ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Morocco has capitalized on its proximity to Europe and relatively low labor costs to build a diverse, open, market-oriented economy. In the 1980s Morocco was a heavily indebted country before pursuing austerity measures and pro-market reforms, overseen by the IMF. Since taking the throne in 1999, King MOHAMMED VI has presided over a stable economy marked by steady growth, low inflation, and gradually falling unemployment, although a poor harvest and economic difficulties in Europe contributed to an economic slowdown in 2012. Industrial development strategies and infrastructure improvements - most visibly illustrated by a new port and free trade zone near Tangier - are improving Morocco's competitiveness. Morocco also seeks to expand its renewable energy capacity with a goal of making renewable 40% of electricity output by 2020. Key sectors of the economy include agriculture, tourism, phosphates, textiles, apparel, and subcomponents. To boost exports, Morocco entered into a bilateral Free Trade Agreement with the United States in 2006 and an Advanced Status agreement with the European Union in 2008. Despite Morocco's economic progress, the country suffers from high unemployment, poverty, and illiteracy, particularly in rural areas. In 2011 and 2012, high prices on fuel - which is subsidized and almost entirely imported - strained the government''s budget and widened the country''s current account deficit. Key economic challenges for Morocco include fighting corruption and reforming the education system, the judiciary, and the government''s costly subsidy program.

Country Intelligence Information

 

Country:                       Morocco

Date:                            20/08/2013  00:00:00

Source:                        "Economist Intelligence Unit" ‑ The Economist

Risk: Last Updated: 07/08/2013

 

                                    Sovereign risk

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

                                    subsidies and wages. With new lending available on reasonable terms, much of it concessional,

                                    and a slight improvement in the country's external position, debt‑service payments will remain

                                    manageable.


                                    Currency risk

The current exchange‑rate system—a managed float—will be maintained, with the Moroccan dirham             weakening slightly in 2013 against a stronger euro. A US$6.2bn precautionary credit line from the IMF in 2012 and a US$1.5bn bond issuance in December 2012, which has boosted foreign reserves, will increase confidence in the dirham.

 

                                    Banking sector risk

                                    The banking sector has benefited from prudential regulation, relatively low levels of

non‑performing loans and limited direct foreign exposure. But heavy government borrowing from the banks to fund a large fiscal deficit will remain a concern. The government is keen to widen Islamic finance options.

 

                                    Political risk

                                    The government will maintain high public spending in the short term to quell political and social

protests over unemployment, corruption and poverty. Tensions over the disputed territory of Western Sahara may also lead to violent demonstrations, but a military conflict is unlikely.

 

                                    Economic structure risk

A reliance on agriculture leaves the economy vulnerable to adverse weather conditions. The fiscal and external deficits fluctuate in line with movements in commodity prices and external performance is             heavily dependent on European demand.
