Chinese firms increase investments in Morocco
Chinese investments in Morocco have focused on high value-added sectors, particularly in the field of electric vehicle batteries and components. The value of announced projects over recent years has exceeded $10 billion, with a major presence in cities such as Tangier Tech and Kenitra. Beijing aims to strengthen Morocco's position as a strategic gateway to Europe and Africa, leveraging its political stability and advanced infrastructure, such as the Tangier Med port, to serve as a platform for producing and exporting high value-added products. Although China is considered a relatively recent investor, its investment flows have increased rapidly between 2015 and 2024, reaching levels close to German investments. However, challenges remain due to the implications of trade tensions with Washington and the European Union's caution regarding re-exporting Chinese products through Morocco to avoid tariffs. These issues complicate relations and raise questions about Rabat’s ability to maintain a balance among major powers while maximizing the benefits of its growing economic presence.
