Economic Council identifies key Moroccan challenges
The 2025 annual report of the Economic, Social, and Environmental Council reveals that Morocco faces significant challenges in transforming economic growth and large investments into sustainable employment opportunities. There is limited integration of small and medium-sized enterprises, and an unregulated sector comprising approximately 2.03 million production units employs one-third of the non-agricultural workforce. Additionally, economic activity is unevenly distributed, with 58.5% of the gross domestic product concentrated in the Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, and Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceima regions, which exacerbates regional disparities and hampers comprehensive development. Regarding preparations for the 2030 World Cup, infrastructure investments are estimated at around 190 billion MAD (11.9% of the 2024 GDP), with guarantees that these projects will create jobs and sustainably boost local production. On the social front, healthcare coverage has improved to 88% of the population, but there remains a need to enhance the quality of health services and the sustainability of systems, along with direct social support benefiting over 12.5 million people. Environmentally, the target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been raised to 53% by 2035, with a focus on developing renewable energy sources and improving resource management. Overall, the greatest challenge remains transforming growth and investments into inclusive and effective development that benefits all regions and social groups.
