Abstract

This paper provides an assessment of concluding free trade agreements between Morocco and the United States. The agreement recently signed between Morocco and the United States foresees several modalities in dismantling tariff. Our simulations show that in any scenario, the impact of trade liberalization on the rate of growth would be much more important for Morocco than for the US, taking into account the difference in the bilateral trade flows sizes. The FTA between the US and Morocco will have significant impact not only on trade between this 2 countries, but also on the trading relationship with the other countries. The most important trade diversion will affect the EU and particularly France, which is the biggest trading partner of Morocco. It will also have some adverse effect on the other North African countries. The FTA will thus offer the opportunity to Morocco to diversify its markets and its capabilities which are strongly focused on the EU, and particularly on France and Spain.
