The report issued by the World Bank discussed Morocco's position in the African industrial value chains. It confirmed that Morocco is one of the few economies that has achieved advanced integration in the automotive and aviation sectors, thanks to a developed industrial base that allows interaction with global networks. However, reliance remains more on European markets than on the African market, with imports of industrial inputs into Morocco dominating, and the country's participation in regional value chains being relatively weak, with domestic trade accounting for no more than 30% of trade with the rest of the continent. Nevertheless, Morocco possesses significant industrial capabilities and specializations in fields such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and auto parts, giving it an opportunity to move towards higher value-added industries and establish stronger production links within Africa, rather than depending on the direct export of raw materials. The report also emphasized the need to transform Morocco's current trade relationships into new productive partnerships within Africa, to enhance its position as a more integrated regional industrial hub within the value chains.
