Morocco’s Economy Speeds Up, Household Pockets Remain Behind

Morocco’s Economy Speeds Up, Household Pockets Remain Behind

The Moroccan economy has recorded its strongest growth since almost a decade in 2025, with a 4.9% increase in GDP.

Infrastructure Projects Drive Growth

Investment rose by 16.3% in 2025, after a significant jump of 14% in 2024.

The construction sector saw a growth rate of 6.7%, while private investments also began to recover.

Public spending continued to increase, with a 5.1% rise in 2025, driven by social protection and salary hikes.

Household Spending Slows Down

Private consumption trailed behind, growing at just 1.2% in 2025.

The slowing growth of household spending contrasts with the rapid acceleration of investment and overall economic expansion.

Experts expect a gradual rebalancing of the economy, as the current cycle of investment comes to an end and more room is made for private consumption.
