Investor confidence rebounds: FDI in Morocco jumps 64%

Foreign direct investment in Morocco saw a dramatic upswing in the first quarter of the year, signaling renewed investor confidence. According to the latest data from the Foreign Exchange Office, net FDI inflows soared to 9.16 billion dirhams—an impressive 63.6% jump compared to the same period in 2024. This surge was driven by a strong rise in gross investment revenues, which climbed 24.6% to 12.9 billion dirhams, while outward payments tied to foreign investments dropped sharply by over 20%, falling to just 3.81 billion.

Meanwhile, Moroccan investments abroad lost considerable steam. Net outflows of direct investment by Moroccan firms dropped by nearly 60%, landing at a modest 388 million dirhams. A closer look shows that repatriated funds from asset sales abroad fell by 14.8% to 3.87 billion dirhams. Outgoing investments also declined, down 22.6% to a total of 4.26 billion.
