The Morocco retained in recent years a high growth, despite the crisis. Is it immune

No, there is a delay effect. If he has not suffered until 2008, year where growth reached 6, expected rather 2.5 to 3 for 2009. But it is nevertheless remarkable that this country has escaped the effects of the crisis so far. There is indeed a resilience of the Moroccan economy due to a strong financial system and the persistence of foreign direct investment, in particular of those of Moroccans living abroad.

Not to mention the development of women's work. One of the facets of the problem is in the acceptance of social evolution through all layers of the population. Thus, is the new Family Code accepted in the countryside It is not clear. But at the same time, a middle class began to develop. It is a counterbalance to the huge rural class which represents 35 of the population and 15 of the GDP of Morocco.

Tourism is a factor of progress in the Morocco

It is a fundamental element of the Moroccan economy, which is the main provider of foreign currency. It has the advantage of not be seasonal, and affect all regions. The Morocco has implemented several development plans in this sector, including a plan for the North Shore, one for Imperial and very important cities, tourists Moroccan national development plan. It is very important and original.
