Morocco’s economy grew by 5.5% in the second quarter of 2025, according to the High Commission for Planning (HCP).
The HCP data shows that this growth reflects a rebound in economic activity and strong domestic demand, compared with 3% in Q2 2024. For 2023, Morocco’s economic growth stood at 3.7%.
The expansion was driven by domestic demand, in a context of controlled inflation and rising financing needs for the economy, the HCP noted in a briefing on the national economic situation for Q2 2025, published on Tuesday.
Agriculture Recovers, Fisheries Decline
The non-agricultural activities recorded a 5.5% increase in volume, while agricultural sector output rose by 4.7%.
In volume terms, the value added (VA) of the primary sector increased by 4.2%, reversing a 4.8% decline a year earlier, supported by higher agricultural activity (+4.7%) but offset by a drop in fisheries (-7.7%).
The secondary sector saw a 7.4% rise in VA, up from 3.1% in the same quarter of the previous year. This performance was driven by growth in electricity and water (+8.9%), manufacturing industries (+6.9%), and construction and public works (+6.7%), according to the HCP.
In the tertiary sector, VA growth accelerated from 4.2% in Q2 2024 to 4.8% in Q2 2025. The increase was largely supported by accommodation and food services (+10.5%), public administration and social security services (+4.8%), and trade and vehicle repair (+4.4%).
However, certain activities slowed, including education, health, and social work (+5.7% vs. +6.4%) and transport and storage (+4.3% vs. +7.9%).
At current prices, GDP rose 7.8% in Q2 2025, compared with 6.9% a year earlier, while overall price growth slowed to 2.3% from 3.9% in the same quarter of 2024, the HCP noted.
