Expert Questions Morocco's Economic Growth and Decision-Making Structure
What happened
Aboubakr Jamai, Dean of the Donna Dillon Manning School of Global Affairs at the American College of the Mediterranean, stated that decision-making in Morocco rests with the royal cabinet, rather than Parliament. Jamai also noted that Morocco's 2025 growth rate of 4.9% may need to be viewed in context, arguing the country requires 6% to 7% growth.
