Morocco’s economy recorded a robust growth rate of 5.5% in the second quarter of 2025, according to the High Commission for Planning (HCP), reflecting the impact of long-term reforms and strategic sectoral investments.
Non-agricultural sectors were the main drivers of this expansion, matching the overall GDP growth of 5.5% in volume. Industry, services, and infrastructure acted as pillars supporting the broader economy, while agriculture also contributed positively, with a 4.7% increase despite its vulnerability to climatic variations.
Measured at current prices, Morocco’s GDP rose by 7.8%, underpinned by strong domestic demand. Household consumption and business investment created a virtuous cycle, stimulating national production and reinforcing economic stability.
The HCP noted that controlling inflation was key to maintaining confidence among market participants and supporting ongoing expansion.
The growth reflects the success of Morocco’s long-term economic strategy, which has combined structural reforms with ambitious sectoral initiatives.
Projects such as the Green Morocco Plan, the development of the automotive and aeronautics industries, and investment in renewable energy have diversified growth sources and strengthened the national economic foundation.
Industry saw particularly strong gains, supported by electricity, water, and manufacturing sectors, while services benefited from improvements in accommodation, catering, public administration, and vehicle trade.
Infrastructure and construction activity also showed notable growth, demonstrating a balanced expansion across multiple sectors.
Despite these positive trends, the HCP highlighted challenges ahead, including the need to ensure that growth translates into sustainable jobs and stable investment.
Financing requirements remain elevated, and maintaining macroeconomic stability will be crucial to sustaining the momentum.
Experts argue that Morocco’s performance in Q2 2025 positions the country on a solid trajectory, but the true test will be turning robust sectoral growth and domestic demand into inclusive economic development that benefits households and strengthens long-term resilience.
Morocco’s latest figures indicate that decades of strategic planning and investment are beginning to yield tangible results, reinforcing the nation’s reputation as a leading economic force in North Africa.
