How Can the Digital Economy Benefit Morocco and All Moroccans?

TThe digital is generating a lot of interest around the world and Morocco is not spared. This transformation is transversal and concerns all sectors of economic activity. In this article, we propose to raise some of the effects that digitalization could have on the main sectors of the Moroccan economy and propose some avenues for solutions. Beyond the presumed negative impacts in terms of job loss and limited growth, measures to increase productivity, create new employment opportunities, make the labor market more flexible or increase human capital seem to be strategies to consider. The development of e-gov in Morocco must continue, especially by improving the coordination of public policies implemented as part of a global approach. The adoption of digital technologies in the financial sector will promote economic growth through access to financial services. At the same time, the deployment of e-commerce, as a sector that promotes and facilitates business, can also have a significant impact on traditional business structures. Finally, the digitization of the agricultural sector is seen as one of the solutions to address some of the many challenges faced in this sector. However, much work remains to be done to ensure that a digital gap does not develop and that the digitization of agriculture can contribute to poverty reduction in Morocco. The analysis of these different sectors confirms that the success of the digital transformation will condition the performance of the Moroccan economy in terms of employment, growth and reduction of inequalities.
