Abstract

An analysis of trade relations between Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa indicates a growing volume of trade, reflecting a continuation of stimulated trade relations. A similar trend is observed in foreign direct investment (FDI), which has continued to grow in recent years, reflecting Morocco's determination to become a major player in the development of the African continent. This Policy Brief first presents trends in inter-regional trade between Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on several indicators. Then it analyzes the evolution of the complementarity of Morocco’s exports with imports by its main sub-Saharan partners. Finally, it depicts Morocco's foreign direct investment in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the main recipients and the structure of Moroccan FDI.
