Morocco has made significant strides in enhancing its position on the map of African economies that are most open to investments, achieving the top rank on the continent in the Investment Freedom Index for 2026. This information was published by The Global Economy, based on data from the American Heritage Foundation. The latest ranking reflects a remarkable improvement in Morocco's performance, accumulating 80 points out of 100, up from 75 points in the 2025 version. This increase of five points within a single year demonstrates the country's commitment to creating a more favorable investment climate.
On a global scale, Morocco secured the 17th position out of 175 countries included in the index, placing it among a select group of economies that exhibit a high degree of openness to investments. This achievement reinforces the Kingdom's position within the continental investment landscape, especially as it endeavors to solidify its economic appeal and attract additional capital. Morocco is strategically positioned as a vital link between African, European, and international markets, which enhances its investment attractiveness.
The additional five points gained within a year serve as a positive indicator of Morocco's ongoing progress. The country's strategic location is a significant strength that not only contributes to its ranking but also highlights the importance of Morocco's leadership in investment freedom across Africa. This accomplishment is crucial, particularly given the intense competition among African nations, and it underscores the importance of Morocco’s leadership in this area. The impressive score of 80 points affirms that Morocco's investment appeal is improving, boosting investor confidence and indicating steady progress in investment-related initiatives.
The advancement in this ranking should ideally translate into increased investments, reflecting a dynamic and continuous economic landscape. Being ranked 17th globally is an achievement that deserves recognition and appreciation, as Morocco continues to build on this momentum.
