Agadir is the third city in Morocco with the highest number of foreign residents, according to data from the Directorate of Studies and Financial Forecasts (DEPF) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The city's foreign population is primarily composed of European nationals, notably French and Spanish, drawn to its coastal climate and tourism infrastructure.
The DEPF report, citing figures from the High Commission for Planning (HCP), indicates that the foreign resident population in Morocco has been growing steadily, with major urban centers like Casablanca and Marrakech leading. Agadir follows as a significant hub, reflecting broader trends of international migration and settlement in the kingdom.
This demographic presence contributes to Agadir's local economy, particularly in real estate, services, and tourism. The city's appeal is bolstered by direct international flight connections and a reputation as a seaside destination.
Official statistics are periodically updated by Moroccan authorities, providing a clear picture of demographic shifts. The data underscores Agadir's role as an increasingly international city within the national context.
