ILO Reports Foreign Firms Impact on Morocco

The study published by the International Labour Organization highlights the role of foreign companies in the Moroccan economy, where they contribute approximately 14.7% of total production based on 2019 data. The key sectors attracting international investments include the automotive industry, which accounts for about 16% of the production of these companies and 20% of their exports, and the chemical industries, which contribute nearly 17% of their exports. This reinforces Morocco's position within global supply chains. The study also revealed that the exports of foreign companies accounted for about 8% of the added value in the economy between 2018 and 2019, with varying levels of contribution compared to Tunisia and Egypt. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of linking foreign investments with employment, highlighting that their impact depends on the nature of the sectors and the integration of local suppliers. It calls for strengthening the connections between international companies and Moroccan businesses to increase domestic value, create indirect job opportunities, and thereby foster economic and social development.
