EBRD forecasts Morocco's 2026 economic growth at 4.8%
What happened
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) forecasts that Morocco's economy will grow by 4.8% in 2026, according to its September Regional Economic Prospects report. This growth is attributed to a strong recovery in agricultural output following several years of drought. The EBRD expects growth to moderate to 3.9% in 2027.

Why it matters
The improved outlook places Morocco among stronger-performing economies in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region. The agricultural recovery, which saw value added increase by 18.4% in the first quarter, helped offset weaker activity in the industrial and construction sectors.
Morocco is actively working to strengthen its international economic ties and cooperation through various partnerships.
