At the end of fiscal year ending May 2024, Morocco has attracted FDI worth MDH 173 billion (USD 16.1 billion). The figure represents a 20% increase compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By some estimates, the 16 billion dollar investment covers a total of 115 projects and will lead to the creation of 96,000 jobs. Furthermore, 82% of the projects have entered implementation phase.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"459b7e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #459b7e;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-03-350-1-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Sectoral Breakdown of Investments in Morocco\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-12608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-03-350-1-jpg.webp 350w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-03-350-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-03-350-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-03-350-1-120x120.webp 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sectoral Breakdown of Investments in Morocco<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>According to the Spokesperson of the Moroccan government, Mr Mustapha Baitas, this significant increase in FDI is also the second largest in the history of Morocco. It is too be recalled that Morocco managed to secure some USD 4.5 billion in FDI in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He attributes the excellent results to the enhancement of the business climate and Ease of Doing Business (<a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/edb\/\">#EDB<\/a>). In particular, the government of Morocco has come up with a number of measures as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Institutionalize a propitious legal framework for FDI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement a promotion strategy on regional basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide targeted sectoral financial incentives <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote Morocco as an ideal location for delocalization of industries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Morocco has set up an Inter-ministerial Committee on Investment in order to fast-track investment projects and remove administrative barriers for any project worth MDH 200 million (EUR 20 million). In complement to the Central Government ICI, several regions have also set up Regional Investment Centers to provide single-window service to investors.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"938a87\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #938a87;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-02w-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Morocco's Interministerial Committee on Investments\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-12604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-02w-jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Morocco-02w-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Morocco&#8217;s Interministerial Committee on Investments<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Since 2009, Morocco has signed the Declaration of OECD on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises.
