Royaume du Maroc / Ministère de l'Economie et des Finances

Morocco has succeeded in positioning itself in different value chains and has gradually climbed towards high value-added segments, including automotive and aeronautics. However, despite its assertive openness rate, the dynamic of its insertion and move upmarket remains weak, compared to comparable countries. It is in this context that this policy brief proposes to shed more light on the dynamics and profile of Morocco's integration into GVCs. It aims to:

• Determine the level of participation of the national economy in GVCs (upstream and downstream).

• Identify the origins and characteristics of the trade deficit in Morocco.

• Propose recommendations to make the most of this integration.
