Sypnosis on the Kingdom of Morocco’s New Development Strategy for Investment
Morocco is setting a frame and components that can be multiple and diverse in their local content, and regional determinations like in their external and global objectives. This strategy is oriented by the selection of leading mining resources, industrial sectors, and technological and energy-based productions that are becoming the focus and reasons for international heated competition. These advanced areas of design and development are the topics and the objectives that differentiate the level of technological and self-sustainability masteries and sector productive leadership between nations in their drive to set new rules for governance as an alternative to the failed globalization which did not respond to local, regional, national, and “inter-nations” geostrategic interests” but impose more competitive and war-driven interventions as regulation of the flow of natural and primary resources needed to fuel such global expansion made without cushion and safety social nets and ideological and political remedies.
Morocco’s drive is a response to these interferences and moves to rejection and adhesion of nations in new identification of competitive forms. Morocco is positioning its economy and external alliances as a regional liaison, a conduit of dialogue, an ally interlocutor, and a business negotiator within balanced the weakness into forces between spheres of influence and clusters of changes.
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.
Reflections of the Kingdom of Morocco in California

What are the Government measures to motivate or restrict investment in Morocco?
The new investment charter which was introduced in July 2016 as part of Law 60-16, and replacing a previous charter implemented in 1995, creates free-trade zones in each of the 12 regions of the country, recognizes indirect exporter status, and creates incentives for export-oriented and industrial companies. It also restructures investment promotion activities under the centralized Moroccan Agency for Investment Development and Export. A General Directorate for Trade, a General Directorate for Industry and an agency dedicated to developing the digital economy and e-government were also created under the new charter.
FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Figures
After a decline during the global recession, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows to Morocco increased in 2014 and 2015, exceeding USD 3 billion. In 2016, however, flows fell by 29% to USD 2.32 billion. The country’s stability should attract more investors. In addition, a vast project of economic modernisation has been launched to boost FDI. Casablanca in particular aims to become an international financial center. Traditionally, France, Saudi Arabia and Spain have been the three main investors. FDI is mainly concentrated in the real estate sector, followed by industry and tourism.

Foreign Direct Investment inflows by country and sector in Morocco

Here are some countries and sectors that have invested in Morocco through foreign direct investment (FDI): In 2022, the top investing countries by stock were France (30.8%), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (20.3%), Spain (8%), Switzerland (5.7%), and the United States (5%). In the first quarter of 2022, the leading investors were the United States, France, and the UAE.
Sectors that receive the most FDI are:
- Industry: Almost one-fourth of FDI
- Real estate: 20% of FDI
- Communication: 12.4% of FDI
- Tourism: 9.5% of FDI
- Energy and mining: 6.4% of FDI
- Banking: 5.7% of FDI
The aim is to be considered as an alternative and reliable intermediary and as a hub of transfer and transformation of existing created and advanced researched values. The multiple participation of Morocco in international events, the signature of trade treaties and investment agreements, direct involvement in security, and strategic alliances are the institutional expressions for business integration, diplomatic acceptance, and cultural harmonization driven by the search for mutual benefits and complementary exchanges with a transfer of technological intelligence and operational know-how that Morocco is striving to materialize. A new model of development based on the production of clean energy remains the determining factor in conglomerating these similar but not identical factors of development.
