The 'Oxford Handbook of the Moroccan Economy' has been published, offering a comprehensive academic analysis of the country's economic trajectory. Edited by scholars Ishac Diwan and Ahmed Galal, the volume brings together contributions from over 30 experts to examine the structural transformations since the early 2000s.
The handbook highlights Morocco's significant economic reforms, including trade liberalization, industrial policy, and infrastructure development in sectors like renewable energy and automotive manufacturing. It notes the country's progress in macroeconomic stability and its positioning as a regional hub.
However, the analysis also addresses persistent challenges. These include high levels of inequality, regional disparities, youth unemployment, and the need for deeper institutional reforms to foster inclusive growth. The work serves as a key reference for understanding the complexities of Morocco's development model and its future policy dilemmas.
