Welcome to ICA Invest
Morocco has become an essential country for investing or developing an export business.
This potential will be strengthened after the covid 19 pandemic of the year 2020.
Its geographical location, a few kilometers from Spain, makes it the most European country in Africa, thanks to the stability of its political system and its economic organization.
It combines the advantages of legislation and standards largely inspired by the French model, with the know-how of its engineers and executives, and a very favorable business climate attested by its doing business ranking (53rd place worldwide, 3rd in the region). mena and 3rd in Africa.)
Morocco's financial center is ranked n ° 1 in Africa
Its geographical proximity makes it the natural extension of the European continent and therefore the best placed to “relocate” industries established in distant countries.
Especially since this country, respectful of human rights, is resolutely committed to the protection of the environment (52% of energy production in2030)
The Key Figures of Morocco for 2019.
36 Million
This is the number of inhabitants of the Shereefian Kingdom in 2019, according to the most reliable statistics, to which must be added a Moroccan diaspora estimated at nearly 4.5 million. Morocco is one of the countries to have experienced the fastest demographic transition in the world, going from 5.5 children per woman to 2.5 on average from 1982 to 2004. The country has a substantial demographic dividend with nearly a quarter of the population under the age of 14.
4.5%
or the average growth recorded by Morocco between 1999 and 2019, which places the country in the leading pack in its region and makes it one of the nations with the fastest economic progress in Africa. However, this rapid growth has not made it possible to eradicate the inequalities between the rich and the poor and the regions of the Kingdom.
9.4%
is the unemployment rate recorded in 2016, with a slight increase since then. In twenty years, Morocco has reduced its unemployment rate by more than 50%, but the situation of young people and the inequalities between urban centers and rural areas remain at significant levels.
1831
is the number of kilometers of the Moroccan motorway network, of which 90% was carried out in the period 1999-2019, which makes it one of the densest on the African continent, behind South Africa and Algeria.
19
is the number of international airports in Morocco, including the Casablanca “Hub” which receives more than 10 million passengers per year. Fully powered by a 10MW wind farm, this airport is Africa's fourth largest by capacity.
580 MW
This is the long-term capacity of the Noor solar station in Ouarzazate, which will make it one of the largest in the world with the American Solar Star. The Noor I field consists of 480 hectares of curved mirrors producing 160MW of energy.
2h10
This is the time it takes now for the journey between Tangier, in the far north of the country, and Casablanca, the economic capital of the Shereefian Kingdom, if we take the "Boraq", the Moroccan high-speed train, set in service at the start of 2019. The Moroccan TGV, whose name means “winged horse”, is also the first in Africa and the cheapest in the world.
1 million
This is the number of “made in Morocco” vehicles that the Kingdom should produce per year in 2022, following the commissioning of the Renault, PSA, and BYD (China) factories. In less than twenty years, Morocco has become an important destination in the regional automotive value chain.
10 millions
This is the number of tourists who visit the country each year, with the gradual installation of a flagship destination which is the red city of Marrakech, which accounts for nearly a third of arrivals.
53
This is the ranking of the country in the “Doing Business” of the World Bank, a benchmark in terms of competitiveness. From 2012 to 2019, the country gained 37 places, approaching its stated goal of entering the world top 50.
1 billion
It is the number of potential consumers thanks to free trade agreements and other bilateral agreements.
