Morocco's Rising Stability in Global Peace Rankings
According to the recently published "Global Peace Index 2026" report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), Morocco has successfully maintained a prominent position among the most stable countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The report reveals that Morocco ranks 65th out of 163 countries, showing an impressive leap of over 20 places compared to its standings in 2025. This significant improvement reflects the ongoing efforts made by the Moroccan government to enhance internal peace and security amidst a backdrop of increasing geopolitical challenges and security threats on both regional and global fronts.
The report comes at a time when the overall level of global peace has reportedly declined for the twelfth consecutive year, with many regions around the world experiencing a rise in conflicts and tensions. In stark contrast, Morocco has managed to maintain a classification indicative of internal balance and calmness, securing the seventh position on the African continent and the fourth among Arab nations, following Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman. This achievement serves as a testament to the effectiveness of Morocco's national policies in managing security and fostering social peace.
Moreover, the report emphasizes that the Middle East and North Africa remain among the least peaceful regions globally, significantly affected by protracted conflicts and escalating regional tensions. In this context, Morocco stands out as a stable regional model, distancing itself from the conflict zones that plague the area. This situation enhances Morocco's reputation as a reliable international partner, contributing to the strengthening of regional security frameworks. Ultimately, Morocco's ranking in the Global Peace Index 2026 underscores the kingdom's resilience in the face of global upheavals, bolstering its image as a haven of stability and reaffirming its commitment to enhancing security within its complex geopolitical landscape.
