The agency believes that the combination of stronger economic growth, greater economic diversification, and high levels of investment suggests a structural improvement in the Arab country\u2019s growth profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moody\u2019s highlights the continued acceleration of growth in Morocco\u2019s non-agricultural sector in recent years, above 5% in 2025, reflecting less dependence on agricultural production\u2014a sector with a volatile market\u2014and ensuring more stable and predictable growth for the country in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency estimates that the relatively strong pace of growth will be maintained, supported by significant public and private investment\u2014especially in transport, logistics, energy, and water infrastructure\u2014and by continued reforms to improve the business environment and attract more investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency estimates that the relatively strong pace of growth will be maintained, supported by significant public and private investment\u2014especially in transport, logistics, energy, and water infrastructure\u2014and by continued reforms to improve the business environment and attract more investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Moody\u2019s, the improvement in fiscal performance is one of the factors supporting the positive outlook and should help contain the debt burden in the medium term, despite pressures from social and investment spending.
