Cet épisode revient sur les principaux enseignements du chapitre consacré au secteur extérieur marocain, en mettant en lumière le paradoxe d’un déficit commercial structurel persistant combiné à une forte résilience des équilibres externes. Badr Mandry explique comment les transferts des Marocains résidant à l’étranger, les recettes touristiques et les investissements directs étrangers jouent un rôle d’amortisseurs face aux chocs externes, tout en soulignant la nécessité de diversifier les exportations et d’accélérer la transition énergétique pour renforcer durablement la soutenabilité du modèle marocain.
