UNCTAD 2026 Report: Morocco Attracted $3.3 Billion in Foreign Investments
Morocco confirms its status as an attractive destination for international investors. According to the World Investment Report 2026 published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Kingdom attracted 3.3 billion dollars in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025, amounting to nearly 33 billion dirhams.
The report highlights that these achievements are primarily supported by the development of the industrial sector, notably the automotive industry, which remains one of Morocco’s main drivers of attractiveness.
The Stellantis Project: One of Africa’s Largest
UNCTAD emphasizes the Stellantis project, valued at 1.5 billion dollars, as the most significant foreign investment announced in Morocco in 2025, making it one of the largest industrial projects on the African continent.
At the same time, Moroccan companies’ direct investments abroad reached 813 million dollars, reflecting the ongoing international expansion of Moroccan groups, although at a slower pace compared to incoming investments.
A Stock of FDI Exceeding 80 Billion Dollars
The report indicates that the total stock of foreign direct investments in Morocco now stands at 80.8 billion dollars, while Moroccan investments abroad amount to 12.6 billion dollars, illustrating the Kingdom’s growing integration into global value chains.
UNCTAD estimates that Morocco benefits from several structural advantages to attract investors, including institutional stability, investment incentives, the strengthening of its industrial fabric, and its strategic position between Europe and Africa.
Tanger Med and Infrastructure Boost the Kingdom’s Appeal
The report also highlights that Morocco has successfully transformed its geographical position into a competitive advantage through top-tier infrastructure, including the Tanger Med port, special economic zones, industrial platforms, and a modern transportation network that supports export activities, particularly in the automotive sector.
The organization also emphasizes efforts to strengthen local supply chains, reduce dependency on imports, and support major industrial projects through instruments such as the Mohammed VI Fund for Investment.
Morocco Positions Itself in the Electric Vehicle Value Chain
Finally, UNCTAD notes that the Kingdom is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for investments related to electric vehicles and battery manufacturing. This upward trend is based on several competitive advantages, including the use of renewable energy, industrial decarbonization goals, and access to green electricity.
According to the report, this growth is the result of an industrial strategy implemented over the past twenty years, driven by successive initiatives such as the National Pact for Industrial Emergence, the Industrial Acceleration Plan, and, more recently, the implementation of the new Investment Charter.
