New Market Report: Morocco Infrastructure Report 2015

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Jan 20 2015


We are forecasting positive growth in Morocco's construction sector in 2015 based on extensive government investment in a range of infrastructure projects. Morocco is improving its road, rail and air travel connections, upgrading port facilities, addressing the housing shortfall and building a substantial tourism infrastructure base. The country is also keen to realise ambitious renewable energy targets, resulting in a wide range of solar and wind power projects entering the pipeline.

Morocco is open to foreign direct investment and is also the target of a multitude of international development financing programmes, benefiting from its strategically strong geographic position. There are ongoing concerns relating to corruption in the tender process and delays to ongoing projects, as well as regional political unrest, which could undermine confidence in Morocco's infrastructure sector, but at present our forecasts for growth remain optimistic.
