The Kingdom of Morocco, which is located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has a unique geo-strategic position, at the crossroads of several civilizations. This position enables the country to stand as the moderator of a three-dimensional economic dialogue and as a gateway to a potential market of nearly one billion consumers.
This unique position, coupled with a regulatory and legal corpus that is up to the highest international standards, makes of the Kingdom a regional “Hub” enjoying significant comparative and competitive advantages in the region.
Thanks to its multifaceted Arab, Mediterranean and African identity, the country enjoys stability and security on the economic, social, and environmental levels, as showed by its resilience to the financial crisis and the Arab revolutions. The reasons behind this resilience are to be found in a set of proactive reforms and the reassignment of the executive power responsibilities through constitutional change.
The country, which is the largest phosphates producer in the world, has embarked on an ambitious economic modernization program that enabled it to move up 50 positions in the World Bank “Doing Business” ranking in a ten year period.
