Moroccan Economy: World Bank Forecasts 3.6% Growth in 2025 and 3.5% the Following Year
In an update to its “World Economic Outlook,” the financial institution notes that these forecasts represent a downward revision of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, compared to its projections published last January.
Morocco is expected to record economic growth of around 3.6% in 2025 and 3.5% in 2026, according to projections from the World Bank Group released on Tuesday.
In an update to its “World Economic Outlook,” the financial institution states that these forecasts represent downward revisions of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, compared to its projections published last January.
The Bretton Woods institution indicates that the Moroccan economy will need to improve slightly in 2027 to achieve growth of 3.6%.
For the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, growth—estimated at 1.9% in 2024—is projected to rise to 2.7% in 2025 (-0.7% compared to January’s forecasts) before climbing to 3.7% (-0.4%) the following year.
In 2027, the MENA region’s growth is expected to reach 4.1%, the World Bank predicts.
Despite more robust activity, “growth projections for the region this year and next have been revised downward compared to January’s forecasts due to increased trade barriers,” the World Bank explains.
