Significant Economic Growth in Morocco
According to the national accounts released by the High Commission for Planning (HCP), Morocco's economy demonstrated a robust growth rate of 4.9% in 2025, a notable increase from the previous year's growth of 4.4%. This upward trend can be attributed primarily to a remarkable 8.2% increase in agricultural activities, alongside a 3.9% growth in non-agricultural sectors, as detailed in the HCP's report on the national economic landscape for 2025. The HCP highlighted that this economic performance was largely fueled by strong domestic demand, all while maintaining a controlled inflation rate, despite a growing financing requirement for the national economy.
Sectoral Performance Highlights
The primary sector exhibited a significant rebound, with its value added surging by 7.1% in real terms, predominantly driven by the recovery in agricultural productivity, which saw an 8.2% increase in value added. In contrast, the fishing sector experienced a downturn, contracting by 13% in 2025 following a previous growth of 8.8% in 2024. Meanwhile, the secondary sector's growth rate decelerated to 3.3%, down from 3.8% in the prior year. This sector's mixed performance was reflected in varying outcomes across its branches; for instance, growth in mining and quarrying decreased from 11.5% to 7.5%, while manufacturing activity saw a slight decline from 2.1% to 1.9%. However, the construction and public works sectors accelerated their growth from 6% to 6.7%. Notably, the growth rate in electricity, gas, water, sanitation, and waste management plummeted sharply from 5.4% in 2024 to a mere 0.6% in 2025.
The tertiary sector also experienced a reduction in momentum, with its value added rising by 4.3% in 2025, down from 5.6% the year before. At current prices, Morocco's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 6.5% in 2025, a decline from 8.7% in 2024, which resulted in an overall price level increase of 1.6%. This comprehensive overview underscores the dynamic shifts within Morocco's economy, highlighting both the challenges and resilience of various sectors in the face of changing economic conditions.
