What are the Government measures to motivate or restrict investment in Morocco?
The new investment charter which was introduced in July 2016 as part of Law 60-16, and replacing a previous charter implemented in 1995, creates free-trade zones in each of the 12 regions of the country, recognizes indirect exporter status, and creates incentives for export-oriented and industrial companies.
It also restructures investment promotion activities under the centralized Moroccan Agency for Investment Development and Export, including Maroc Export https://marocexport.gov.ma/, the Moroccan Investment Development Agency http://www.invest.gov.ma/, falling under the purview of the Ministry of Industry, Trade, Investment and Digital Economy.
A General Directorate for Trade, a General Directorate for Industry, and an agency dedicated to developing the digital economy and e-government were also created under the new charter.
FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Figures
After a decline during the global recession, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows to Morocco increased in 2014 and 2015, exceeding USD 3 billion. In 2016, however, flows fell by 29% to USD 2.32 billion. The country’s stability should attract more investors. In addition, a vast project of economic modernization has been launched to boost FDI. Casablanca in particular aims to become an international financial center.
Traditionally, France, Saudi Arabia, and Spain have been the three main investors. FDI is mainly concentrated in the real estate sector, followed by industry and tourism.
