World Bank ups Morocco growth forecast to 4.4%

The World Bank has raised its growth forecast for Morocco’s economy to 4.4% in 2026, despite expectations of a slowdown in growth over the next two years due to rising energy costs and the diminishing impact of previous agricultural gains. The Moroccan economy grew by 4.9% in 2025, and is projected to slow to 4.4% in 2026, then further to 4% in 2027. The slowdown is attributed to the waning effects of agricultural improvements and higher energy prices, but the economy remains strongly supported by good rainfall, investments in infrastructure, and the tourism sector. Inflation is also expected to rise to 1.2% in 2026, with the current account deficit increasing to 3.6% of GDP. The report also predicts that Morocco continues to strengthen its capabilities in artificial intelligence, despite existing gaps in readiness, facing certain challenges in adopting new technologies and retaining skilled professionals.
