Economic Council warns of persistent inflation
Despite the decrease in inflation in the Moroccan economy to 0.8% during 2025, food prices have risen by approximately 27%, leading to a continued burden of high living costs and weakened purchasing power for households. The report confirmed that this improvement in inflation has not sufficiently translated into a better standard of living for citizens, and prices remain high compared to 2021, with cumulative increases exceeding 15%. Regarding the labor market, the unemployment rate stayed at 13%, particularly affecting youth and women. Many workers face job insecurity, with about 46% working without official contracts, and the duration of unemployment extending to around 33 months. The report called for strengthening policies to protect purchasing power, improving the business environment, and increasing the integration of national enterprises to achieve more inclusive and balanced growth.
