The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has published its latest Economic Survey of Morocco, assessing the country's economic performance and challenges. The report, released in March 2026, acknowledges Morocco's resilience following recent external shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic and global inflationary pressures.
However, the OECD highlights significant vulnerabilities. The Moroccan economy remains heavily exposed to climate-related risks, particularly drought, which severely impacts its key agricultural sector. Geopolitical tensions and volatility in global energy and commodity prices also pose continued threats to economic stability and growth prospects.
The survey commends Moroccan authorities for their macroeconomic management and social protection reforms but calls for accelerated structural changes. Key recommendations include enhancing human capital through education and vocational training, improving the business climate to attract investment, and deepening the green transition to build long-term resilience.
The OECD projects that, with sustained reform efforts, Morocco can achieve stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable growth. The report underscores the importance of continuing to modernize the state-owned enterprise sector and further integrating into global value chains to diversify the economy.
