Morocco is consolidating its position as the leading destination for foreign direct investment in Africa, driven by a significant increase in international capital over the past year. According to the most recent World Investment Report 2025, the North African country recorded a 55 % growth in investment flows, a development that confirms its strategic role in the continental economy.
This performance reflects a combination of institutional stability, attractive fiscal policies and the progressive opening of the Moroccan market to high value-added sectors. The authorities have promoted a favourable regulatory environment and strengthened cooperation with European, Asian and Gulf investors, particularly in renewable energy, automotive, logistics and clean technologies.
Casablanca Finance City and the Tangier Med industrial zone act as epicentres of this expansion. In both areas, advanced manufacturing and green energy projects have multiplied the inflow of foreign capital, while new alliances with African partners consolidate Morocco's position as a gateway to the entire continent.
Analysts also highlight the Kingdom's long-term vision, which combines economic diversification with an energy sustainability strategy. Morocco is seeking to become a regional benchmark in green hydrogen production and electric mobility, sectors that are attracting growing international interest.
The increase in foreign investment reinforces confidence in the Moroccan economic model and anticipates a phase of further industrial and technological expansion. With these developments, the country is not only climbing up the African economic map, but also strengthening its link with global markets in a context of green transition and geo-economic competition.
