Morocco has emerged as a significant player in global logistics, driven by major investments in port infrastructure and trade agreements. According to the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (LPI) 2023, Morocco ranked 51st globally, up from 54th in 2018, reflecting improvements in infrastructure, customs, and international shipments.
The country's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East has been leveraged through projects like the Tanger Med port, which handled over 8.6 million TEUs in 2023, making it the largest container port in Africa and the Mediterranean. Additionally, Morocco's free trade agreements with over 50 countries, including the EU and US, have facilitated trade flows.
Recent reports from the African Development Bank highlight Morocco's investments in logistics zones and digitalization, aiming to reduce trade costs and boost competitiveness. The government's National Port Strategy 2030 targets further expansion of port capacity and connectivity.
