18 October 2026

The World Bank's Morocco country overview, last updated on 12 October 2026, records real gross domestic product growth of 4.7% in 2025, up from 3.8% in 2024. It puts Morocco's population at about 37.8 million. The poverty rate was 3.9% in 2022, and the Bank says poverty has declined while inequality and urban-rural gaps remain high. Female labour force participation stands at 19%. The Bank says near-term growth is moderated by agricultural contractions and that prolonged drought has exposed climate vulnerabilities and water scarcity.
