Morocco Inflation Eases in August

The annual inflation rate in Morocco slowed down in August, decreasing to 0.3% from 0.6% in July. Food prices fell by 3.9%, while the prices of non-food products increased by 2.5%. Nevertheless, costs for some services and non-food items continued to rise, especially transportation, which went up by 7.3% due to higher fuel prices caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The government plans to boost the 2026 budget by 20 billion dirhams, with some funds allocated to increasing support to help stabilize prices for transportation, gas, and electricity.
