For Morocco, the outlook is particularly positive. The report projects GDP growth of 3.7% in 2026 and 3.5% in 2027, fueled by industrial production, foreign investment in manufacturing and energy, and a recovering agricultural sector. Tourism is also booming, with arrivals expected to increase by 20% in 2026, boosted in part by the momentum of the Africa Cup of Nations. In 2025, the country welcomed nearly 20 million tourists, contributing to sustained economic activity.
The macroeconomic environment remains stable, with inflation at just 1.0%, and Morocco’s fiscal prudence is evident. The debt-to-GDP ratio is expected to decline to 65% by 2027, while deficits are projected to average around –3% of GDP. In 2025, Morocco issued MAD 22.4 billion (USD 2.18 billion) in Eurobonds to support public spending and maintain liquidity ahead of major events.
As Morocco positions itself as a hub for investment and professional opportunities, jobseekers and employers alike will have a chance to connect at the Jobs Expo Casablanca 2026, taking place on 30 May 2026. This event provides a platform for exploring careers across growing sectors, from tourism and finance to manufacturing and technology.
