(AR) Economic History of Morocco - مسار الاقتصاد المغربي عبر التاريخ

April 10, 2026

تتتبع هذه الحلقة التاريخ الاقتصادي للمغرب منذ تهميشه في القرن التاسع عشر تحت ضغط القوى الأوروبية، مرورًا بالثنائية الاستعمارية والتنمية التي قادها الدولة بعد الاستقلال، وصولًا إلى برامج التكيف الهيكلي في الثمانينيات. وقد عززت الإصلاحات الأخيرة مرونة الاقتصاد، مع مساهمة قطاعات الزراعة، وصناعة السيارات، والفوسفات في النمو. ومع ذلك، يواجه المغرب تحديات عالمية جديدة تتطلب نموذجًا تنمويًا يركز على الشمول الاجتماعي، والابتكار، والتحول البيئي

    An examination, inevitably bound to be broad in scope, of the economic and social implications for a country, in this case Morocco, of a sudden pandemic that has broken out in virtually most parts of the world, can only be a prelude to a broader and more comprehensive study to be undertaken in due course. For obvious reasons, especially as the current crisis induced by the primacy of health, could later evolve into a form of economic depression as various multifaceted aid and suppor ...

    Face à la pandémie du COVID-19, un plan d’action a été établi autour de trois axes : santé, économie et ordre social. Dans chacun de ces champs, le concours des institutions publiques, du secteur privé et des membres de la société civile a permis jusque-là de limiter les dégâts et d’avoir un certain contrôle sur la pandémie. Sur le plan sanitaire, l’intervention vise une maîtrise de la progression de la maladie pour une meilleure absorption des flux par le système de santé, aux moy ...

En décrétant, par la suite, un confinement strict, les autorités actaient l’arrêt partiel de l’économie, avec la mise en place de mesures d’aide en faveur des catégories précaires et des entreprises rencontrant des difficultés sous la houlette du Comité de Veille économique (CVE). Le ralentissement de l’économie a conduit ...

    We are entering an economic cycle with a changing nature of consumption focusing on necessities. It seems like the times of luxury, entertainment and vacations are over, at least until the discovery of a vaccine for COVID-19. The unfolding of the health crisis that we have been witnessing in Italy, Spain and other advanced economies will not be as severe as the economic crisis that the Coronavirus will unleash. The International Monetary Fund has been warning us that the financial ...

The study focuses on a particular criterion of the theory of optimum currency area (OCA) i.e. the similarity of business cycles. The main results suggest important discrepancies between countries that are already within the WAEMU (CFA Franc) arrangement and countries that have their own arrang ...

Moroccan migrants ease the country’s chronic unemployment and underemployment problems, send remittances, invest in the home country, and typically visit Morocco frequently as tourists. In addition to that migrants usually retain close links with Morocco, and help in less direct ways to forge trade and third-party investment links between Morocco and their host countries. Drawing on the relatively sma ...
