THOMAS BARCLAY.
TREATY WITH MOROCCO. 1787
Now, KNOW YE, That we, the said John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Ministers Plenipotentiary aforesaid, do approve and conclude the said treaty, and every article and clause therein contained, reserving the same nevertheless to the Untied States in Congress assembled, for their final ratification. In testimony whereof, we have signed the same with our names and seals, at the places of our respective residence, and at the dates expressed under our signatures respectively.
JOHN ADAMS, (L.S.) London, January 25th, 1787.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, (L.S.) Paris, January 1st, 1787.
This article is blatant proof that some managers working to promote Morocco, such as within the Morocco Now Campaign at the international level trying to present its existing potential, skills, and opportunities for the sake of attracting foreign companies, foreign investors, and foreign academic or social institutions. Morocco spends millions to build an image of excellence in attractivity and attractiveness hoping such foreign capital will help reduce unemployment, increase job creation, transfer know-how, and raise the standard of living of citizens.
Imagine then that all its laudable efforts do not take the expected direction nor are carried by competent officials and seasoned and experienced professionals in corresponding areas of Marketing, brand definition, and the strategic enhancement of Morocco’s position on the international scene.
The expectations of the Moroccan State are legitimate given that the expenses that are made at the international level are heavy in sum and impact the returns received by Morocco. Payments paid by Morocco for the services of foreign companies of Public Relations, International Marketing, and Consulting Firms are made with rates applied on the spot and in addition, are made in the national currency of the country where these companies offer their services. A direct impact on the balance of payments and the convertibility rate of the Dirham may result from these payment transfers.
Considering all these issues, the imperatives and the challenges facing Morocco at the global level are first the multiple repercussions at the intangible and material level. Building the foundations of economic development and growth in the liberal sense seeks foreign participation as the conduit toward integration in the global marketplace and to the network of foreign financial institutions. Within such a frame, it is quite normal to have top-level decision-makers for such international communication and PR about Morocco. They have to be up to the task and know the international terrain that will enable them to sail the vessel Made in Morocco and Morocco Now as Innovative and efficient Leaders on board, knowing effectively the direction and the objective – the destination of all these maneuvers to make this Moroccan vessel arrive safely and to make it a proof of the prowess and the skill and the potentialities that can challenge its competitors as well as organizations of all kinds potentially interested in Morocco as a commercial partner, as a production or investment location or as a destination to visit and to know at the cultural and social levels.
This campaign conducted at Dubai Morocco Expo 2020 Dubai and the film promoting the launch of Morocco Now both in Dubai and New York needs to convey the considerations, unfortunately, they did not and I am not the only one to underline it or to take note of it.
The group presenting this promotion campaign in Morocco in Dubai and Morocco when asked about the impact of these two special promotions and especially how the choice of New York was made, their responses and reactions led through a bombardment by their friends of the media sites by judicious attempts in camouflage in a sheet of prestige and national pride by highlighting and questioning the meaning of patriotism and nationalism to those who dare to ask them such questions. ★
★These friends have coincidentally designated Times Square by the name of Time Square, showing their aptitudes for copying themselves and between themselves and demonstrating their glaring lack of knowledge of the field and New York as a Marketplace.
This article takes a look at such actions and reveals the ineptitude and incompetence of some of our managers, so-called Professionals.
These officials who, once unmasked / and try to question our nationalism and our patriotism, wall themselves in their inability to understand our interrogations and our questions, and given their weakness they opted for the ultimate maneuvers that confirm their skipping, evading the core of their professional responsibilities by exiting through by the door from behind, the Emergency exit. They could not face the reality of the incoherence and incompetent actions.
I let you follow the course and the trajectory of such behavior of a Director of Communication and PR Mrs. Sahar Tlemsani Maghraouiwho abruptly canceled her account on LinkedIn when she or one of her superiors realized that their practices have flaws and gaps and that they could not overcome by bogus explanations as they and she faced the common people in Morocco.
Their manipulation was faced with the competence wall of my questions and my interrogations which have only one goal, it is to return to the Moroccan what belongs to Morocco.

The installed capacity in renewables was 31.7% of the total installed capacity excluding step. If we are talking about the electricity mix, we must say 17.8% in 2020, and not 37%.

My writing below is a “personalized” professional testimony conveying a multiplier dedication to adapting to the variety of operational references and responding to the diversity of opportunities and the human environment in which the local business conditions and regional and national practices of the predominant relational culture.
Thus, my roles and office functions were more and encompassed more of the single and simple honorable profession of an actor or director but embraced realistic and surrealistic aspects of global scope while identifying in the panorama of the territorial affairs of California and the United States of America – Designed in California and Made in the USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..
While the international scene and framework on which I continue to this day my stagings and performances remain direct, spontaneous, derived, and driven by my deep desire to lay foundations of rapprochement and bridges of communications between countries distant entities, neighboring entities, and distant organizations as well as individuals from various similar and non-identical backgrounds.
I contributed a lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce for decades both in San Francisco and in Oakland, California, with my work and my achievements on the international level during the period in which I been in the CITD and since then I continue to sail beyond the horizons of the Pacific and other shores in this time close in conjugation and distant in expression.
To conclude in style and combine business with pleasure, I am going to add more salt or spices to my international recipes simmered in English but fashioned in the style of Jacques (without any) Pépin and Paul Bocuse (not from Vaucluse) and where you can also taste the flavor of Senegal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} like other regions of the rest of Africa and this according to your choice first through and in the content of this link which can also give you more appetite for reading my other adjacent, corresponding and complementary publications in the staging of a constructive memory and a renovating present for intelligent solutions adaptable to current challenges, prospective requirements and potential risks, such is the destiny of my work and my contribution to this common destiny of existence.

Alors que la scène et la trame internationales sur laquelle je continues jusqu’à ce jour mes mises en scéne et performances demeurent directes, spontanées, dérivées et conduites par mon profond désir d’étaler des fondations de rapprochement et des ponts de communications entre les contrées lointaines, les entités voisines et les organisations distantes ainsi que les individus de divers horizons similaires et non identiques.
I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.
Pour conclure en beauté et joindre l’utile a l’agréable, je vais ajouter plus de sel ou d’épices à mes recettes internationales mijotées en Anglais mais façonnées a la Jacques (sans aucun) Pépin et Paul Bocuse (pas du Vaucluse) et oû vous pouvez aussi goûter la saveur du Sénégal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} comme des autres régions du reste de l’Afrique et cela selon votre choix en premier a travers et dans le contenu de ce lien qui pourra aussi vous donner plus d’appétit pour la lecture de mes autres publications adjacentes, correspondantes et complémentaires dans la mise en scène d’une mémoire constructive et d’un présent rénovateur pour des solutions intelligentes adaptables aux défis et courantes, aux exigences prospectives et aux risques potentiels, tel est le destin de mon labeur et de mon apport dans cette destinée commune d’existence.

Minister Mohcine Jazouli attended the opening of GITEX AFRICA, chaired by HE AKHANNOUCH AZiZ, Head of the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco marking a significant milestone for Morocco’s digital future.
Oracle Systems Limited intends to increase its local Research & Development workforce to 1,000 information technology specialists; a move that follows the inauguration of its Moroccan Development Center at Casanearshore Park in Casablanca.
It is estimated that 40% of these new positions will be located outside the Greater Casablanca and Rabat-Salé-Kenitra regions, notably through the opening of new offices in Agadir this year, and in northern Morocco within the next two years. The objective set by Oracle is to enable researchers to leverage cloud, AI, and machine learning technologies to address the most pressing challenges in business, science, and the public sector.
Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD, Minister responsible for Digital Transition and Administrative Reform of the Moroccan government, signed an agreement with Safra C., CEO of Oracle, to formalize this partnership and this commitment to innovation in Morocco.
“Oracle’s R&D center in Casablanca has already played a critical role in driving technical advances, improving cybersecurity, and developing new AI capabilities, [”…“] By strengthening our R&D presence in Morocco, we will be able to further leverage its vast talent pool to accelerate the development of solutions that will help our clients around the world grow their businesses and achieve success in their sectors,» said Safra C.
“This ambitious project is aligned with the Royal Strategic Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which encourages the innovation and creativity of young Moroccans,” added Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD.
In this center of excellence, young Moroccans will be at the forefront of the design and development of innovative solutions using the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, and cybersecurity.
These solutions will be deployed on a global scale, thus strengthening Morocco’s positioning as a digital hub for the entire region.

Tout comme la Banque Mondiale et la Communauté Européenne, la BAD soutient également PACTE ESRI de l’université marocaine.

Yassine BENADDOU IDRISSI en fait ça consomme moins que les milliers de salles serveurs climatisées mais très mal-isolées de Tanger à Lagrouira. Consolider et centraliser dans un datacenter moderne qui respecte toutes les normes en vigueur du Green IT serait beaucoup mieux pour l’environnement.
Amine L. Avec tous mes respects, ca n’existe pas des normes en vigueur et green it avec les datacenters => C’est polluant et energivore surtout avec la nouvelle stratégie numérique 2030 vous verrez des datacenters naitre comme des champions mutualisés avec les bornes 5G …de quelle maroc vert on parle 🤔

Yassine BENADDOU IDRISSI J’ai travaillé 7 ans au Maroc sur et dans des datacenters locaux privés, c’était CATASTROPHIQUE: Des climatiseurs pour serveurs qui refroidissaient de grandes salles de 100m2 à fond alors qu’il n’y avait que 4 serveurs et avec des fenêtres ouvertes. En terme de normes il y en a plusieurs: ISO 50001, LEED et j’en passe.
Amine L. Les normes sont faites pour faite travailler les cabinets de conseil c’est leur gain pain pas plus..ces normes meme dans les pays les plus développés ne sont pas respectés..ya tout un debat dans ce sens en France, Etats Unis surtout avec l’émergence de l’ia generative et les supercalculateurs quantiques bientot repandus.
Pr Mohamed Amine ISSAMI tout dépend des termes du contrat portant sur la localisation des données. En europe, certains pays ont plutôt opté à deux mesures. Pour les données stratégiques des entreprises nationales, l’hébergement doit être au niveau national ou européen par un opérateur national ou européen. Pour les données de l’Etat ayant trait à la souveraineté, l’hébergeur est un opérateur public national.See translationSee translation of this comment

I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.

Silver Screen Shot on the Projection of Inter-National and Inter-Cultural Lights
All the pleasure is for my definition of human relationships and joy as my first name indicates to offer you such a shortcut around the World of Business and Regional Human Cultures, which is only the end of the Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.
My writing below is a “personalized” professional testimony conveying a multiplier dedication to adapting to the variety of operational references and responding to the diversity of opportunities and the human environment in which the local business conditions and regional and national practices of the predominant relational culture.
Thus, my roles and office functions were more and encompassed more of the single and simple honorable profession of an actor or director but embraced realistic and surrealistic aspects of global scope while identifying in the panorama of the territorial affairs of California and the United States of America – Designed in California and Made in the USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..
While the international scene and framework on which I continue to this day my stagings and performances remain direct, spontaneous, derived, and driven by my deep desire to lay foundations of rapprochement and bridges of communications between countries distant entities, neighboring entities, and distant organizations as well as individuals from various similar and non-identical backgrounds.
I contributed a lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce for decades both in San Francisco and in Oakland, California, with my work and my achievements on the international level during the period in which I been in the CITD and since then I continue to sail beyond the horizons of the Pacific and other shores in this time close in conjugation and distant in expression.
To conclude in style and combine business with pleasure, I am going to add more salt or spices to my international recipes simmered in English but fashioned in the style of Jacques (without any) Pépin and Paul Bocuse (not from Vaucluse) and where you can also taste the flavor of Senegal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} like other regions of the rest of Africa and this according to your choice first through and in the content of this link which can also give you more appetite for reading my other adjacent, corresponding and complementary publications in the staging of a constructive memory and a renovating present for intelligent solutions adaptable to current challenges, prospective requirements and potential risks, such is the destiny of my work and my contribution to this common destiny of existence.

Tout le plaisir est pour ma definition des rapport humains et de la joie comme mon prénom l’indique de vous offrir un tel raccourci autour du Monde des Affaires et des Cultures Humaines Régionales, qui n’est en fait que le bout de l’Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.
Mon écrit ci-dessous est un témoignage professionnel “personnalisé” véhiculant une dedication multiplicatrice s’adaptant à la variété des références opérationnelles et répondant à la diversité des opportunités et de l’environnement humain dans lequel s’est traduit et s’est imbibé des conditions locales des affaires [Business] et les pratiques régionales et nationales de la culture relationnelle prédominante.
Ainsi, mes rôles et fonctions d’office étaient plus et s’englobaient davantage de la seule et simple profession honorable d’un acteur ou de metteur en scène mais embrassent des allures réalistes et surréalistes de portée globale tout en s’identifiant dans le panorama des étendues d’affaires territoriales de la Californie et des Etats Unis d’Amérique – Designed in California and Made in USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..
Alors que la scène et la trame internationales sur laquelle je continues jusqu’à ce jour mes mises en scéne et performances demeurent directes, spontanées, dérivées et conduites par mon profond désir d’étaler des fondations de rapprochement et des ponts de communications entre les contrées lointaines, les entités voisines et les organisations distantes ainsi que les individus de divers horizons similaires et non identiques.
I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.
Pour conclure en beauté et joindre l’utile a l’agréable, je vais ajouter plus de sel ou d’épices à mes recettes internationales mijotées en Anglais mais façonnées a la Jacques (sans aucun) Pépin et Paul Bocuse (pas du Vaucluse) et oû vous pouvez aussi goûter la saveur du Sénégal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} comme des autres régions du reste de l’Afrique et cela selon votre choix en premier a travers et dans le contenu de ce lien qui pourra aussi vous donner plus d’appétit pour la lecture de mes autres publications adjacentes, correspondantes et complémentaires dans la mise en scène d’une mémoire constructive et d’un présent rénovateur pour des solutions intelligentes adaptables aux défis et courantes, aux exigences prospectives et aux risques potentiels, tel est le destin de mon labeur et de mon apport dans cette destinée commune d’existence.

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.
I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa. He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table. Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

In California, it All Started in 1993 at the East Bay Small Business Development Center, at Green Breurner’s Building, the Former Largest Department Furniture Store at the 7th Floor with Ms. Selma Taylor as the Executive Director and Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as the Business Consultant
Historical landmark columnist Annalee Allen called the Breuner Building “an eight-story reinforced concrete building with a distinctive variegated sea-green glazed terra cotta front facade, constructed in 1931 to house the John Breuner Furniture Company store. Other noteworthy features of the building include Art Deco motifs, and a pair of stylized figures crafting a chair located over the front entrance.”
The Oakland store was closed in the 1970’s and sold by the company where, following renovation, the historic building reopened as an office building in the late 1970’s.
The California Genealogical Society moved into the former Breuner Building in March 2007. As of 2012, the appearance of Ikea furniture, large yoga balls for sitting, and a flyer on the door indicating an entrance on the side heralded the move-in of a startup on the ground floor of the building – Spark Art.

Since my early studies atInstitut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, the development and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase the awareness about Africa and its need of establishing new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.
Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who hold firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.
I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa. He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table. Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank) and the setting up of a special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

I was the Director of Graduate Business Programs at Dominican University of San Rafael, when Dr. Cherkaoui was teaching in our international MBA program. Said brought not only a solid academic background to the classroom, but also a wealth of business experience both in the US and in Asia and Latin America. He is passionate about his students and his work outside the classroom. This made him one of the most effective faculty that we had teaching at the time.

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. The country has seen significant growth in infrastructure development, including commercial and residential projects, resorts, and industrial zones. 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. Establish factories or explore export-oriented businesses 1.
Information technology and innovation: The Moroccan government actively promotes digital transformation and innovation. The growing IT sector and the startup ecosystem that supports it offer opportunities in software development, cybersecurity, e-commerce, and other technology-driven sectors.
Transition to a green economy: Morocco is a pioneer in the transition to a green economy. Ambitious energy transition plans aim to transform the country into one of the greenest and low-carbon platforms in the world 3.
Investment incentives: The Moroccan government offers incentives to attract foreign investment, including tax exemptions, support, and simplified procedures 2.
Morocco’s economic stability, ongoing reforms, and various investment opportunities make it an attractive destination for international businesses, whether in real estate, renewable energy, tourism, or manufacturing and in this North African country you can find promising 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.

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.
