Morocco's planning commission puts second-quarter growth at 4% and sees 4.7% in the fourth quarter

The Haut-Commissariat au Plan, Morocco's official statistics body, published its note de conjoncture for the second quarter of 2026 on 14 October 2026. It records gross domestic product growth of 4% in the second quarter of 2026. It projects 4.1% in the third quarter and 4.7% in the fourth quarter of 2026. The commission says growth will continue in the second half of 2026 despite an energy shock linked to the outbreak of the war in Iran. Expansion in agriculture and services is expected to support activity and cushion the energy shock. Domestic demand remains the main driver, helped by favourable monetary conditions and inflation contained below 2%.

Second quarter 2026 growth: 4% Third quarter 2026 forecast: 4.1% Fourth quarter 2026 forecast: 4.7% Inflation: Contained below 2%
Why it matters for exams: Quarterly growth numbers from a national statistics office are the kind of figure asked in economy and international sections.
