Government spokesperson and Minister Delegate in charge of Relations with Parliament, Mustapha Baitas, stated that Morocco’s economic growth indicators are based on data issued by independent national and international institutions, stressing that the figures reflect a positive trend in the country’s economic performance.
Speaking during a press conference following the Government Council meeting, Baitas noted that Morocco’s growth rate increased from 1.8 percent in 2022 to 3.7 percent in 2023, before reaching 4.4 percent in 2024 and 4.9 percent in 2025.
He added that current projections indicate economic growth could reach approximately 5.2 percent by the end of 2026, driven by the performance of several productive sectors and measures implemented to support economic activity.
The government official highlighted the contribution of the agricultural sector to this momentum, alongside the positive results achieved by the tourism industry. He noted that Morocco’s economy expanded from around 140 billion dollars to more than 170 billion dollars in recent years.
Regarding tourism, Baitas said Morocco welcomed nearly 20 million visitors in 2025, allowing the country to strengthen its position among the world’s leading tourist destinations.
Tourism revenues reached approximately 15 billion dollars, supported by the implementation of the 2023-2026 tourism roadmap, expanded air connectivity, increased accommodation capacity and improved visitor services.
He further noted that travel revenues exceeded 44 billion dirhams by the end of April 2026, representing a 21 percent increase compared with the same period of the previous year, reflecting the continued positive momentum of both the tourism sector and the national economy.
