Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Morocco's death rate was 5.6 in 2025, ranked 180th globally. This represents a 0.8% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Morocco's death rate stood at 5.6 in 2025, a decline of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.6 by 2025. Morocco ranked 180th globally.
Morocco’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, dropping from an all‑time peak of 22.98 in 1960 to a trough of 5.57 in 2022, and reaching 5.59 in 2025, which places the country at rank 180 globally. This sustained decline reflects improvements in healthcare access, vaccination coverage and chronic disease management that have paralleled broader demographic transitions in the region. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to the 2022 low point, indicating that the downward trajectory has largely stabilized. Compared with peer nations of similar rank, Morocco’s rate is marginally higher than Senegal’s 5.60 and slightly above Ecuador’s 5.42, suggesting that modest further gains remain possible. Continued investments in preventive health services, especially targeting rural populations, could push the death rate below the current peer group average, extending the long‑term decline observed since the early 1960s.
