World Bank: Morocco Achieves Highest Economic Growth Rate in Over a Decade

The Kingdom of Morocco achieved its strongest economic expansion in more than ten years during 2025, recording a real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 4.9 percent, according to the latest economic report released by the World Bank.

The substantial economic momentum was primarily propelled by a surge in public infrastructure investments—particularly major developmental projects tied to Morocco’s upcoming co-hosting duties for the 2030 FIFA World Cup—alongside a robust rebound in the agricultural sector.

Strong Economic Momentum Projected for 2026

The World Bank’s report indicates that the North African nation is well-positioned to sustain this upward trajectory throughout 2026. The institution forecasts a solid real GDP growth rate of 4.2 percent, supported by persistent investment flows and resilient domestic consumer demand.

Key macroeconomic indicators also demonstrated marked improvement across several key metrics:

Inflation Rate: Dropped to a stable 0.8 percent.

Fiscal Deficit: Reduced to 3.5 percent of total GDP.

Long-Term Growth Drivers: Strategic emphasis on digital transformation to boost national productivity and establish sustainable economic development.

The World Bank emphasized that accelerated digital integration serves as a pivotal lever for unlocking higher productivity gains, enabling Morocco to build a more resilient and modern economy over the coming years.
