Morocco Maintains "Medium-Stable" Business Environment Amidst Regional Uncertainty
Amidst the economic and political uncertainties prevalent in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Morocco stands out as a relatively stable operating environment for international companies, according to a recent risk assessment.
In Control Risks' 2023 RiskMap report, Morocco secured a score of 6 out of 10 on its composite risk scale, placing it in the category of "medium-stable" risk. This aligns Morocco with regional counterparts such as Tunisia, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, highlighting the overall favorable climate for foreign businesses.
The score reflects Morocco's moderate exposure to political, security, operational, and integrity risks crucial factors for multinational companies assessing potential investments. While the country faces its share of challenges, Control Risks emphasized that most can be effectively managed with a concerted effort to sustain normal business activities.
This stands in contrast to higher-risk markets like Egypt, Turkey, and Algeria, which received scores of 7 out of 10. Across the MENA region, increased threats from political instability, policy uncertainty, and cybercrime have become the norm rather than the exception.
Morocco has defied the trend of worsening conditions observed in emerging economies globally. Amidst the widespread impacts of high inflation and debt, businesses worldwide are navigating a challenging landscape marked by populism and nationalism.
Morocco's relative stability positions it as an appealing safe haven for foreign investors seeking refuge from the escalating challenges in other parts of the world. While risks persist, proactive mitigation efforts can empower multinational corporations to thrive in this North African nation despite the ongoing global turbulence.
