Economy

[Translate to العربية:] Following its independence and with mounting international pressure, Morocco implemented neoliberal policies over the past five decades at a high cost to Morocco’s human and social development.

Today, agriculture production represents 15% percent of the country’s GDP and the labor force participation is well below 50% percent, even if the unemployment rate hovers at 9.4%. While the World Bank praises Morocco for its ‘prudent and sound’ macroeconomic policies, growing inequality and poverty are ills yet to be confronted.
