| Summary: | Over the last twenty years, Morocco has
invested massively in infrastructure. At the macroeconomic
level, total investment of between 25 percent and 38 percent
of gross domestic product (GDP) occurred between 2001 and
2017, one of the highest rates of investment globally. Much
of this investment has gone into infrastructure, and more
than half of it was undertaken by the public sector
(treasury, public enterprises and local authorities).
Morocco is also among countries receiving the most official
development assistance relative to GDP, half of which is
invested in infrastructure. The investments have created
more reliable supply chains, improved access to markets and
basic services, and increased productivity. Following this
executive summary, chapter one reviews the quantity and
quality of infrastructure services in Morocco and the
notable achievements that the country has made in this
regard; chapter two discusses Morocco’s infrastructure
challenges; chapter three describes Morocco’s infrastructure
investment needs and macroeconomic constraints; and, chapter
four discusses proposed cross-cutting reforms. Appendix A
provides key indicators for each infrastructure sector,
Appendix B provides sector specific recommendations and
lists selected projects in the infrastructure pipeline, and
Appendix C explains the methodology used to derive the
infrastructure investment estimates. |
