Morocco continues to attract foreign capital, with a significant increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first seven months of 2025.
According to the Foreign Exchange Office, net FDI reached €1.55 billion, marking a 25.6% jump compared to the same period last year.
The report shows that total FDI receipts amounted to €2.77 billion, a 26.8% increase, while the repatriation of capital and profits also grew by 28.3% to €1.23 billion. The positive balance highlights Morocco’s economic strength, even as the international market faces financial volatility and geopolitical tensions.
In contrast, Moroccan direct investments abroad saw a net outflow of just €315 million, as Moroccan companies appear to be more cautious about foreign commitments and are focusing on consolidating their existing assets.
Analysts believe the rise in FDI is a result of Morocco’s growing appeal in key sectors, including: Renewable Energy: Projects in green hydrogen and solar power continue to draw international funding. Automotive and Aeronautics: The industrial ecosystem, especially the automotive sector, is solidifying its position as a major driver of foreign investment. Information Technology: The tech sector is also contributing to the country’s economic growth.
Morocco’s economic stability and strategic location near European markets have made it a standout on the African continent. While other countries are seeing a decline in foreign investment due to political instability, Morocco’s upward trend is strengthening its role as an investment hub in North and sub-Saharan Africa.
