Morocco is recognized as a top market reformer in the Middle East and North Africa. The nation has emerged as a commercial hub as a result of its economic reforms, investment incentives, competitive costs of production, modern banking processes, strong laws to protect intellectual property, and proximity to major markets. Morocco has a Free Trade Agreement with the United States and an Association Agreement with the European Union (EU). These agreements attract traders looking to enter Morocco, the world’s largest markets (such as the EU and the United States), and the world’s fastest-growing markets (e.g., Africa). The U.S.- – Morocco Free Trade Agreement entered into force in January 2006, eliminating duties on more than 95 percent of all goods and services, and U.S. exports have grown dramatically since then. [source: IFC data]
The major resources of the Moroccan economy are agriculture, phosphates, and tourism. Sales of fish and seafood are important as well. Industry and mining contribute about one-third of the annual GDP. Morocco is the world’s third-largest producer of phosphates (after the United States and China), and the price fluctuations of phosphates on the international market greatly influence Morocco’s economy. Tourism and workers’ remittances have played a critical role since independence. The production of textiles and clothing is part of a growing manufacturing sector that accounted for approximately 34% of total exports in 2002, employing 40% of the industrial workforce. The government wishes to increase textile and clothing exports from $1.27 billion in 2001 to $3.29 billion in 2010.
The services sector accounts for just over half of GDP and industry, made up of mining, construction, and manufacturing, is an additional quarter. The sectors that recorded the highest growth are the tourism, telecoms, and textile sectors. Morocco, however, still depends to an inordinate degree on agriculture. The sector accounts for only around 14% of GDP but employs 40-45% of the Moroccan population. With a semi-arid climate, it is difficult to assure good rainfall and Morocco’s GDP varies depending on the weather. Fiscal prudence has allowed for consolidation, with both the budget deficit and debt falling as a percentage of GDP.
In 2009 Morocco was ranked among the top thirty countries in the offshoring sector. Morocco opened its doors to offshoring in July 2006, as one component of the development initiative Plan Emergence, and has so far attracted roughly half of the French-speaking call centers that have gone offshore and a number of the Spanish ones.
According to experts, multinational companies are attracted by Morocco’s geographical and cultural proximity to Europe, in addition to its time zone. In 2007 the country had about 200 call centers, including 30 of significant size, that employ a total of over 18,000 people.
The economic system of the country presents several facets. It is characterized by a large opening towards the outside world. France remains the primary trade partner (supplier and customer) of Morocco. France is also the primary creditor and foreign investor in Morocco. In the Arab world, Morocco has the second-largest non-oil GDP, behind Egypt, as of 2005.
Since the early 1980s, the Moroccan government has pursued an economic program toward accelerating real economic growth with the support of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Paris Club of creditors. The country’s currency, the dirham, is now fully convertible for current account transactions; reforms of the financial sector have been implemented; and state enterprises are being privatized.
The high cost of imports, especially of petroleum imports, is a major problem. Another chronic problem is unreliable rainfall, which produces drought or sudden floods; in 1995, the country’s worst drought in 30 years forced Morocco to import grain and adversely affected the economy. Another drought occurred in 1997, and one in 1999–2000. Reduced incomes due to drought caused GDP to fall by 7.6% in 1995, by 2.3% in 1997, and by 1.5% in 1999. During the years between drought, and good rains bumper crops to market. Good rainfall in 2001 led to a 5% GDP growth rate. Morocco suffers both from unemployment (9.6% in 2008), and a large external debt estimated at around $20 billion, or half of GDP in 2002.
Overview of Morocco
Morocco Rankings
Overall Score Read our methodology to see how the scores and rankings were calculated.
Morocco is located in Northwestern Africa and is slightly geographically larger than California. The capital of Morocco is Rabat, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco has a population of 34.37 million people and a gross domestic product (GDP) of $100.6 billion. Due to its proximity to Europe along the strategic location as a gateway to Africa, Morocco has created strong trade relationships and promotes an open market economy. In 2015, the US had $304 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in Morocco.
Morocco and the United States in 2016
The United States is the fourth largest importer of Moroccan goods.
In 2016, the US imported roughly $1 billion worth of goods from Morocco. The largest category of imported goods was chemicals, which made up 36.8% or $375 million of the total. Other imports from Morocco included food manufacturers, apparel manufacturing products, and transportation equipment. In the same year, the United States exported $1.86 billion worth of goods to Morocco, which was an increase from the previous year. In the same year, the United States exported $1.86 billion worth of goods to Morocco, which was an increase from the previous year.
The main exports to Morocco were transportation equipment (31.6%), agricultural products (15%), and petroleum and coal products (8.7%). Export data pulled from the International Trade Administration (ITA) shows that average US exports to Morocco have more than tripled since the US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA) went into effect just over a decade ago.
President George W. Bush signed the FTA, the first US free trade agreement with an African country, exactly twelve years ago today; and the agreement went into effect on January 1, 2006.
In the three years before the FTA (2003-2005), US exports to Morocco averaged $482 million; in the past three years (2013-2015), they increased 328 percent to $2.1 billion.
At the state level, Texas claims the spot as the top exporter to Morocco, both in 2015 and on average over the past three years, exporting $510 and $710 million worth of goods, respectively. Other top state exporters when looking at three-year averages include Louisiana, West Virginia, Washington, and California in descending order; considering only 2015, Washington, Louisiana, Virginia and California rounded out the top five following Texas.
When looking at sheer growth in exports since before the FTA, other states emerge as winners. Nevada experienced the biggest boost in exports at a nearly 13,000% increase; Idaho’s exports increased by nearly 11,000%; Montana’s by just over 10,000%; New Mexico by nearly 4,500%; and West Virginia by just under 4,000%.
Morocco has been doing everything right to strengthen and diversify its economy,” said former US Ambassador to Morocco Edward M. Gabriel. “Choosing Morocco as the US’s first FTA beneficiary in Africa was a smart move, and I believe the US will continue benefiting from this strong relationship for years to come.

Morocco offers a promising investment landscape for foreign entrepreneurs. Here are some key reasons why investing in Morocco can be advantageous
Morocco’s economic stability, ongoing reforms, and diverse investment opportunities make it an attractive destination for international business ventures. Whether in real estate, renewable energy, tourism, or manufacturing, entrepreneurs can find promising prospects in this North African country 1.
Political Stability: Morocco benefits from a stable political environment, which is crucial for long-term investments. The government’s commitment to economic reforms is helping to boost investor confidence.
Strategic Location: Morocco’s strategic location between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa makes it an ideal gateway for companies seeking to access both markets. The relatively low labor cost and modern infrastructure increase its attractiveness 2.
Morocco and USA Friendship since the Birth of the United States of America
As the United States was struggling in its battle for independence from Great Britain, Sultan Mohammed III of Morocco was among the first heads of state in the world to grant American ships port access. By royal decree in 1777, Sultan Mohammed III provided the Americans with an economic ally and began what would become the longest unbroken diplomatic relationship in the history of the United States. The more contemporary 2006 free trade agreement caused an increase in American and Moroccan exports from $481 million to $3.5 billion and $446 million to $1.6 billion
Diversified economy: The Moroccan economy is characterized by diversity and sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, services, and tourism contribute significantly to the GDP. This diversity offers diverse investment opportunities.
Real Estate Sector: Real estate in Morocco offers profitable investment opportunities.

Cities such as Casablanca, El Jadida, Marrakech, Rabat, and Tangier offer interesting prospects for real estate investments 1.
Renewable energy: Morocco prioritizes the development of renewable energy and aims to produce 52% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. Foreign entrepreneurs can explore investments in solar and wind energy projects, as well as in the production of energy equipment renewable. 1.
Tourism and hospitality: With its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and dynamic cities, Morocco is a popular tourist destination. The tourism sector offers foreign investors the opportunity to invest in hotels, resorts, restaurants, and travel agencies. Government strategies to attract more tourists and improve infrastructure improve the growth potential of the sector 1.
Manufacturing and exports: Morocco has established itself as a manufacturing and export hub, particularly in sectors such as automotive, textiles, and electronics. Its proximity to Europe, its production costs, its competitive workforce and its free trade agreements create a favorable environment for seeking foreign entrepreneurs.

Foreign Investment and Foreign Trade in 2024
★ Morocco has ratified 72 investment treaties for the promotion and protection of investments and 62 economic agreements, including with the United States and most EU nations, that aim to eliminate the double taxation of income or gains. Morocco is the only country on the African continent with a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, eliminating tariffs on more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods.
★ The Government of Morocco plans to phase out tariffs for some products through 2030. The FTA supports Morocco’s goals to develop as a regional financial and trade hub, providing opportunities for the localization of services and the finishing and re-export of goods to markets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
Since the U.S.-Morocco FTA came into effect bilateral trade in goods has grown nearly five-fold. The U.S. and Moroccan governments work closely to increase trade and investment through high-level consultations, bilateral dialogue, and other forums to inform U.S. businesses of investment opportunities and strengthen business-to-business ties.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2022, Morocco attracted the ninth-most foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa in 2021. Inbound FDI rose by 52 percent in 2021 to $2.2 billion, vice $1.7 billion in 2020 and 2019 and a 2018 peak of $3.6 billion. France, the United Arab Emirates, and Spain hold a majority of FDI stocks.
Manufacturing attracted the highest share of FDI stocks, followed by real estate, telecommunications, tourism, and energy and mines. Morocco continues to orient itself as the “gateway to Africa,” and expanded on this role with its return to the African Union in January 2017 and the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), which entered into force in 2021.
In June 2019, Morocco opened an extension of the Tangier-Med commercial shipping port, making it the largest in Africa and the Mediterranean; the government is developing a third phase for the port which will increase capacity to five million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). Tangier is connected to Morocco’s political capital in Rabat and commercial hub in Casablanca by Africa’s first high-speed train service – TGV. Actually, Morocco is planning a southern connection by the TGV of Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir, and Dakhla in the Moroccan Sahara.
Morocco’s Investment and Export Development Agency (AMDIE) ★ is the national agency responsible for the development and promotion of investments and exports. Following the reform to the law governing the country’s Regional Investment Centers (CRIs) in 2019, each of the 12 regions is empowered to lead its own investment promotion efforts. The CRI websites aggregate relevant information for interested investors and include investment maps, procedures for creating a business, production costs, applicable laws and regulations, and general business climate information, among other investment services.
Morocco actively encourages and facilitates foreign investment through a range of incentives. Here are some key investment incentives in Morocco:
Tax benefits: The Moroccan government offers tax breaks to investors, reducing the overall cost of doing business. These tax incentives apply to both foreign and local investors 12.
Customs Exemptions: Investors can benefit from exemptions on import duties, making it easier to import goods and materials into the country for their business operations 1.
Access to funds and grants: Morocco offers access to various funds and grants that support investment projects. These financial assistance programs aim to improve returns on investments and encourage economic growth 3.
Investment Promotion Agencies: The country has established investment promotion agencies that provide information, guidance, and support to investors. These agencies help streamline the investment process and connect investors with relevant resources 1.
Free Trade Agreements: Morocco has entered into numerous free trade agreements, providing preferential access to international markets. These agreements improve trade opportunities and make Morocco an attractive base for export-oriented businesses 1.
Morocco’s investment incentives, combined with its strategic location, political stability, and world-class infrastructure, create a favorable environment for foreign entrepreneurs looking to invest in the country 1.
The Investment Charter, Law 18-95 of October 1995, is the current foundational Moroccan text governing investment and applies to both domestic and foreign investment (direct and portfolio).
Morocco’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) increased by 1.2 USD bn in June 2022, compared with an increase of 416.3 USD mn in the previous quarter. Morocco Foreign Direct Investment: USD mn net flow data is updated quarterly, available from Mar 2014 to Jun 2022.
According to data from the country’s foreign trade watchdog, the Exchange Office (OE), Morocco welcomed MAD 6.3 billion ($578 million) in investments from the US in the first half of 2022, compared to MAD 5.6 billion ($513.7 million) from France.
For the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2020 , Morocco attracted the eighth most foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa. Following a record year in 2018 where Morocco attracted $3.6 billion in FDI, inbound FDI dropped by 55 percent to $1.6 billion in 2019. Despite the global COVID-19 pandemic, FDI inflows to Morocco remained largely stable totaling $1.7 billion in 2020, according to the Moroccan Foreign Exchange Office, a slight increase of one percent from the previous year. France, the UAE, and Spain hold a majority of FDI stocks. Manufacturing has the highest share of FDI stocks, followed by real estate, trade, tourism, and transportation. Morocco continues to orient itself as the “gateway to Africa” for international investors following Morocco’s return to the African Union in January 2017 and the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) in March 2018, which entered into force in 2021.
In June 2019, Morocco opened an extension of the Tangier-Med commercial shipping port, making it the largest in the Mediterranean and the largest in Africa. Tangier is connected to Morocco’s political capital in Rabat and commercial hub in Casablanca by Africa’s first high-speed train service. Morocco continues to climb in the World Bank’s Doing Business index, rising to 53rd place in 2020, rising on the list by 75 places over the last decade. Despite the significant improvements in its business environment and infrastructure, high rates of unemployment, weak intellectual property rights protections, inefficient government bureaucracy, and the slow pace of regulatory reform remain challenges.
Morocco has ratified 72 investment treaties for the promotion and protection of investments and 62 economic agreements, including with the United States and most EU nations, that aim to eliminate the double taxation of income or gains. Morocco is the only country on the African continent with a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, eliminating tariffs on more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods.

With an annual Gross Domestic Product growth rate of nearly five percent over the past five years, Morocco’s recent economic history is one of macroeconomic stability and low inflation, despite the challenges of the Arab Spring. In the World Bank’s 2017 Doing Business report, Morocco’s rating improved to 69th in the world. Morocco is conveniently located for investors interested in exporting to Europe and Africa. Moreover, the availability of skilled and competitive labor at lower costs, relative to Europe, is a key factor in attracting automakers to Morocco. These automakers are also eligible for tax exemptions for 25 years, provided that most of the production is destined for export.“
The interests of Renault in Morocco remain the control of the Moroccan automobile market, the availability of very affordable and relatively well-educated workforce, and the bridge to Europe and the Gateway to Africa and the Middle East that Morocco provides through its strategic geographical location. Additional benefits can be also the unique opportunities that are offered by the operation of Tangier. Renault is currently the dominant company in the Moroccan automotive market. The Dacia and Renault brands, owned and operated by Renault, represent respectively 20% and 17% of the market. Renault is already operating a plant in Casablanca and the increased production of this new plant will allow the company to maintain its market share as the Moroccan automotive industry grows.” (Said El Mansour Cherkaoui)

US Aid to Morocco: Olive and Agricultural Products
In 2004, Congress created the Millennium Challenge Corp., a foreign aid agency headed by the secretary of state, to help developing countries reduce poverty. Since its inception, the agency has authorized grants totaling more than $7 billion to help 23 African and Latin American countries.
In 2007 the agency agreed to give Morocco $697.5 million over five years to improve the country’s employment rate and salaries by investing in its fruit-tree farms, small-scale fisheries, and artisan crafts, according to Millennium. Nearly half of that money – $320 million – is earmarked for the Fruit Tree Productivity Project, with 80 percent of the cash going to olives and the rest to improve date, fig, and almond production. Dates, figs, and almonds are also key California crops.

Introductory Notes by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui
I have been defending Africa since I was in the situation where I can claim my own Africanness without any other expression of my ancestral African Amazigh heritage. The turning point of such a claim made against those who wanted to bury us but forgot that we are seeds of cultivation as they say in Africa. We blossomed later on and this attempt to put away our conscience and our willingness to find better ways for Africa was during the year 1977-78 at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Grenoble, France.
For Africa, I have drawn trajectories since 1977 to illuminate its multiple fighting spirits for its own emancipation and for the will of its own children not to forget it even if centuries have brainwashed them. Yes, indeed, generations and generations were instilled with a sweet insidious amnesiac dose by foreign and their local charlatans who disguised and distorted the reality of our own African history.
Through reading this article, you will discover that I have established milestones in the direction of recovering and rediscovering our own sense of Africanity, what I call our Refined Shared African Affinity.
In this sense, I have written several articles, developed various analyses, written case studies, as I have also participated in the initiation, organization and presentation at international conferences and trade shows, taught courses, provided consulting services and training and study-programs on Africa. This diverse and multiple engagements took place in the United States, France, Morocco and China.
To reinforce this African orientation, I have also directly participated in the creation of groups and institutions representing the interests of Africa while facilitating meetings and contacts for African countries and decision-makers with their peers in California such as and just to name few:
Organization of the first visit of a delegation representing the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Egypt.
Organization of the visit of a delegation of members of the Accra Chamber of Commerce to New York.
Visit of the First Delegation of Cameroon during the Football World Cup in 1994 at Stanford,
Organization in the Bay Area from San Francisco to Berkeley of the very First International Conference on Africa
Direct participation in the American Café Trade Show in Casablanca – Morocco organized by the USDA, US Department of State, The US Embassy in Morocco, Representation of 25 American and Californian companies as an introduction to the upcoming signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Morocco.
As for my current initiatives and achievements, I have also created several groups on the level of social-media platforms as well as several websites presenting the news, the and the future of African countries and their relations with the rest of the world.
Je défends l’Afrique depuis que je suis dans la situation où je peux revendiquer ma propre africanité sans aucune autre expression de mon héritage ancestral africain amazigh. Le tournant d’une telle revendication faite contre ceux qui ont voulu nous enterrer mais ont oublié que nous sommes des graines de culture comme on dit en Afrique. Nous nous sommes épanouis plus tard et cette tentative de mettre de côté notre conscience et notre volonté de trouver de meilleures voies pour l’Afrique s’est déroulée durant l’année 1977-78 à l’Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Grenoble, France.
Pour l’Afrique, j’ai dessiné des trajectoires depuis 1977 pour éclairer ses multiples esprits combatifs pour sa propre émancipation et pour la volonté de ses propres enfants de ne pas l’oublier même si des siècles les ont lavés le cerveau. Oui, en effet, des générations et des générations ont été insufflées avec une douce dose amnésique insidieuse par des étrangers et leurs charlatans locaux qui ont déguisé et déformé la réalité de notre propre histoire africaine.
En lisant cet article, vous découvrirez que j’ai établi des jalons dans le sens de la récupération et de la redécouverte de notre propre sens de l’africanité, ce que j’appelle notre affinité africaine partagée raffinée.
Dans ce sens, j’ai écrit plusieurs articles, développé diverses analyses, écrit des études de cas, car j’ai également participé à l’initiation, à l’organisation et à la présentation de conférences et salons internationaux, enseigné des cours, fourni des services de conseil et des programmes de formation et d’étude sur Afrique. Ces engagements divers et multiples se sont déroulés aux États-Unis, en France, au Maroc et en Chine.
Pour renforcer cette orientation africaine, j’ai également participé directement à la création de groupes et d’institutions représentant les intérêts de l’Afrique tout en facilitant les rencontres et les contacts des pays et décideurs africains avec leurs pairs en Californie tels que et pour ne citer que ceux-là :
Organisation de la première visite d’une délégation représentant la Fédération des Chambres de Commerce d’Egypte.
Organisation de la visite d’une délégation de membres de la Chambre de Commerce d’Accra à New York.
Visite de la Première Délégation du Cameroun lors de la Coupe du Monde de Football en 1994 à Stanford,
Organisation dans la Bay Area de San Francisco à Berkeley de la toute Première Conférence Internationale sur l’Afrique
Participation directe à l’American Café Trade Show à Casablanca – Maroc organisé par l’USDA, le Département d’État américain, l’Ambassade des États-Unis au Maroc, Représentation de 25 entreprises américaines et californiennes en guise d’introduction à la signature prochaine de l’Accord de libre-échange entre les États-Unis États-Unis et le Maroc.
En ce qui concerne les initiatives et réalisations actuelles, j’ai également créé plusieurs groupes au niveau des plateformes de médias sociaux ainsi que plusieurs sites Web présentant l’actualité, le et l’avenir des pays africains et leurs relations avec le reste du monde.

From the Red and Black Social Conflict of Stendhal to the Red and Black Seas of Conflicts of Ideologies and Power Disputes
International Trade Navigating in Trouble Waters and Moody Conflictual Swing.
Once more International Trade since the First World War International Competition, International Rivalries, International Geopolitical Interests, and International National Interests Can become the Justification for Invasion and Punitive Expeditions that can be also the Sparks that Can Link All the Ingredients of these Factors of Dissensions and Divisions in One Big Conflagration of Regional Zones of Tensions and Conflicts that can be colliding with each other with time, pretexts and intensity to became War of Civilizations and Institutions.
In 2023, continued geopolitical tensions, ongoing regional conflicts, and supply chain uncertainty had a tangible impact on international trade.
Disruptions in the Black Sea and Panama and Suez Canals
The Suez Canal, a critical waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, handled approximately 12% to 15% of global trade in 2023. UNCTAD estimates that the trade volume going through the Suez Canal decreased by 42% over the last two months.
At this juncture of troubling waters and muddy space, the Middle East can become the driving force behind the regional configuration and conglomeration of the Fractional Pieces for Peace or the pits of fire to spread over and become the Breaker of the International Market as Inherited from the Bretton – Woods Accords and the related establishment of the Institutional framing organizations as the Channels and the Conditioning structures for the exchange between the adhering nations.
What are the other avenues or road maps that will preserve the already-acquired privileges and advantages?
At the level of entreprises and compagnies, there is an approach that can reduce this exposure and risks that are conveyed by the clashes of civilizations and cultures of past history.
A questioning of the permissive conditions for the continuation of methods and forms of commercial exchanges can lead to the main point of dispute among advanced and less advanced economies. This question is centered on the valorization of countries as contributors in the international trade which are schematically divided between 3 large categories:
– The Producers of Natural Resources,
– The Manufacturers of Consumer Products,
– The Investors and the Owners of High Technologies.
– The Emerging Group of Countries that have Dual Form of Integration in the International Trade
Along with the added value of their manufactured products, they are countries that are hostage to the production of raw materials and natural resources without means of processing or in many cases without a knowledge of their process transformation and even control of the international circulation and exchange of their mining and natural resources.
A never concluded debate is also at the level of the formation and convertibility of value in its realization as added which since Ricardo and Marx debate has not yet been clearly defined, established in its applications and definitions at the level of the countries in progress of development characterized by economies that have not reached a high level of capitalization and reproduction of capital as national investment without recourse to international borrowing.
This shortfall remains in our time one of the fundamental pillars in the questioning of international trade clauses deeply planted by Western leading countries through all forms of regulation, declaration, conduction and monetization including the countries of the South can only adopt and accept forms of relationships in which they will have to increase their contributions without receiving the fair return and income.
Some challenges that are currently affecting global trade include:
– The U.S.-China trade war
– The Taiwan Strait crisis
– The East China Sea dispute
– The South China Sea dispute
– Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
– The Middle East conflict, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Irak, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan
– Africa: Military Coups, CEDEAO Crisis, the Withdrawal of Sahel Countries, Ethiopia and Tigray, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Libya
– Investment, Trade and Geostrategic Rivalry between USA, European Union, Russia, China and Turkey in Africa
– Recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea by the Houthis, Response of the U.S. and U.K. with threats to Iran, considered as the Backers of the Houthis of Yemen
– Geopolitical tensions affecting shipping in the Black Sea
Geopolitical risks are the potential political, economic, military, and social risks that can emerge from a nation’s involvement in international affairs. They typically emerge whenever there is a major shift in power, a conflict, or a crisis.
Other challenges that are affecting trade include:
The strategic competition between the US and China
The UK’s departure from the European Union
Ongoing supply chain disruptions
Climate disasters
Political actions
Governments like Companies pursue their interests and develop relations around such principle that continuously need to be consolidated and reaffirmed as the priority for international interactions and regional collaborations. Political risk management is one of the major instrument to conduct and have in place to elevate the level of conscience and establish new forms of communications and responses with the major influencing elements and causes of the eruption and spread of detrimental consequences resulting from political events on a national or global scale, such as an armed conflict, constitutional referendum, election, or major policy developments. Changes in legislation or policies can also present a political risk for an organization.
Here are some ways to reduce political conflict affecting international trade:
Negotiate: Diplomatic negotiations are a key way to resolve conflicts and prevent wars.
Mediate: Mediation is a peaceful way to manage conflicts. It offers many advantages, and has been studied by scholars, practitioners, and students of political science, psychology, business management, and law.
Develop conflict resolution skills: These include mediation, dialogue facilitation, and consensus-building.
Set rules: Settling differences by talking and agreeing on rules is vital for reducing tension.
Use the WTO: Members can request the establishment of a panel to settle disputes if negotiations are not possible. The panel will issue a report, which can subsequently be appealed before the WTO’s Appellate Body on questions of law.
Promote Reformed and Fair Free Trade: Free trade between countries could reduce international conflict because trade forges connections between nations and gives each country an incentive to avoid war with its trading partners.
Basically many of these approaches had reach their limit in setting a path of collaboration and share of the same views on the resolution and anticipation of new antagonisms.
The UN’s trade and development body, UNCTAD, has raised profound concerns over escalating disruptions to global
According to a February 2024 article, the current challenges highlight the vulnerability of trade to geopolitical tensions and climate-related challenges. The article also states that collective efforts are needed to find sustainable solutions, especially for countries that are more vulnerable to these shocks. … Read more
