Nominal GDP: Rank 57 among 188 covered IMF economies for reference year 2026. This is a ranking of covered positive readings with the same reference-year label.
Each figure retains its own reference year, unit and source. Missing values are not zero. IMF readings can include estimates or projections; their stored release vintage, observation status and country-specific fiscal-year mapping are unavailable. A shared year label does not establish identical calendar periods.
Population follows the World Bank’s midyear-estimate definition. Nominal GDP is converted from stored billions of US dollars to US dollars. GDP per person is output per person, not a typical income; general-government gross debt is broader than central-government debt.
Morocco Economic Overview
Morocco is North Africa's most diversified and politically stable economy. Unlike oil-dependent neighbors, Morocco has built a manufacturing-oriented economy anchored by automotive production — Renault and Stellantis plants have made Morocco Africa's largest car producer, exporting primarily to Europe. The country controls approximately 75% of the world's phosphate reserves through state-owned OCP Group, making it indispensable to global agriculture (phosphate is essential for fertilizers).
Tourism is a major pillar — Marrakech, Fez, and Casablanca attract over 15 million visitors annually. Morocco has invested massively in infrastructure: Africa's first high-speed rail line (TGV connecting Tangier to Casablanca), the Tanger Med port (the Mediterranean's largest), and a growing renewable energy sector including the Noor-Ouarzazate solar complex — one of the world's largest. Morocco will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal.
Challenges include high youth unemployment (~25%), significant rural-urban inequality, water scarcity (Morocco is one of the world's most water-stressed countries), and education quality gaps. GDP per capita at $5,107 (reference year 2026) reflects lower-middle-income status with significant room for convergence toward European living standards.
