Construction Firms Confront Challenges Post-Reforms

The article addresses Morocco's efforts to improve the business environment and reform the entrepreneurial landscape, despite ongoing challenges. A report from the Economic, Social, and Environmental Council confirmed that the year 2025 saw successes in simplifying procedures for establishing businesses, developing digital financial and administrative services, launching new support and financing mechanisms, and aiming to improve the quality of public services. However, a gap remains between the announced reforms and their actual implementation, as businesses face difficulties in accessing land, tax costs, licensing procedures, dispute resolution, and securing public contracts. There has also been an increase in company closures, reaching 11,596 in 2024. Meanwhile, the number of new companies established in 2025 rose by 14.6%, totaling 109,720. Improving the business climate continues to depend on narrowing the gap between legislation and enforcement, enhancing service quality, and analyzing performance surveys to ensure the continuity of businesses, promote economic growth, and create more job opportunities.
