Moroccan families struggle to save amid rising costs
Living costs in Morocco have risen significantly, leading to a reduction in households' ability to save amid increasing daily expenses. According to data from the High Commission for Planning, 58.7% of households were able to cover their expenses during the second quarter of 2026, while 38.7% used their savings or borrowed. The percentage of households able to save did not exceed 2.6%, and households’ expectations regarding their future savings capacity remain negative over time. Additionally, about 78.3% of households believe their standard of living has deteriorated over the past year, with 51% expecting this decline to continue in the coming year. Financially, 43.8% of households report a deterioration in their overall situation. Price hikes, especially for food staples, are impacting households' ability to save, as perceptions about price developments over the past year have sharply declined. Despite strong economic growth in the first half of 2026, rising costs and decreased purchasing power hinder households’ efforts to save for the future, particularly as income levels decline and the financial margin available for savings narrows.
