Overview
Morocco's fdi inflows stood at 0.90% in 2025, a decline of +0.12% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.90% by 2025. Morocco ranked 144th globally.
Morocco’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have remained modest over the 56‑year series, rising from a low of –0.27 in 1974 to a recent 0.90 in 2025, which places the kingdom at 144th in the world ranking. The sharpest expansion occurred in 2001 when inflows peaked at 6.44, a level that has not been approached again despite periodic rebounds. Compared with peer economies, Morocco’s 2025 figure is slightly below Türkiye’s 0.89 and above Qatar’s 0.80, suggesting that the country lags behind the more diversified investment environments of Türkiye and Qatar while edging ahead of Eswatini’s 0.99. The long‑term trajectory reflects a post‑peak decline, with the 2020s marked by incremental gains rather than the rapid growth of the early 2000s. Continued reforms to improve the business climate and deepen integration with regional supply chains could revive the upward momentum and narrow the gap with higher‑ranking peers.
