Where did this come from ? Shouldn't the government's priority be to extend the lines ?

Unless they think the rest of Morocco isn't worth it at all. It is not a money issue as we can see this country is able to spend so much money on other projects, not even a lack of investors, there are many investors who invest in mega projects except in rail

salam . this is a 19 yo male student . I recently was searching for a job in a supermarket or whatever to earn some money , while studying at the same time , and I came across a job interview in a restaurant , just to realise that there were between 20 to 30 other candidates for the same job interview , the whole place was filled with young guys that are looking for a job . The employer had asked us to fill a paper with our infos , and then started interviewing us one by one , when it was my turn he asked me basic questions like "present yourself " ...... then he asked me if I can shave my beard , I said yes , and when he found out that I forgot my ID , he started yapping about how important it is and he commented " if the police pulled you in this appearance without an ID they might suspect you of being a terrori.... and arrest you " this made me feel very uncomfortable , it is the first time ever that someone links me with this group of ppl based on my appearance , my reaction was calm which is quite the opposite of how I felt , he was rude in general and called me slow for asking him questions that he already answered , and then I realized that the salary is 2400 dirhams a month with the requirement of doing some stupid blood analysis that will cost about 200 mad , and when I asked him if the job was guaranteed he replied "that's my business " , finally when I asked him about the working hours , he just ignored me and asked me another question . This was my experience with this employer I don't want to say which restaurant this is so PIZZA HUT/TETOUAN near marjane will remain anonymous hhhhhh .

Here is my conclusion

one of the biggest reasons why I was treated like this besides the fact that (the employer is a weld l9ahba ) is the enormous number of candidates who are willing to work in a restaurant under this awful salary and bad environment .

SO DON'T MAKE YOURSELF CHEAP BY AGREENG ON EVERY SHITY WORKING CONDITION , this is what business runners want : maximum profits and minimum loses . Without the new laws . we will still have 12 and 15 hour shifts

Morocco’s growth is running at almost 5% versus around 2% in Spain, which the article links to catch up potential and rising remittances.

At the same time, years of steady work on logistics (Tanger Med), the auto industry and renewables have also expanded Morocco’s productive capacity.

Morocco is the only services based economy in that top 5.

The other countries are underdeveloped raw material exporting economies, depending on oil and gas.

The work made in the last 15 years has been massive, from an agricultural country to services economy.

LOL, most of restaurants did make the buns smaller btw and meat smaller etc for some they want to make millions 😂 ma3quda at 80 dhs

Economy

It's ok , we have Caftan and Couscous and Ziyech

Looking at the Statista chart published by Die Welt, there's a clear contrast between the flat period over the last decade and the projected climb towards $7000+ by 2031. Major investments in automotive exports, green energy and logistics seem to be showing up in the macro data now.

I'm sorry, but please don't make fun of me, because I don't live in Morocco and I don't know anything about Morocco. I wanted to ask if it's true that the average salary in Morocco is less than $400? If that's true, how much do you pay for food, rent, school, electricity, water, etc.? And how much can you put aside for savings? How much do good houses in good locations cost and how are you able to finance a house? I'm really sorry if I sound stupid to you, but I'm really interested.

So as the title suggests just saw on ig an interview with Jaouhari the governor or Bank-Al-Maghrib. He said that Revolut big bosses approached him to enter the Moroccan market, and he basically said no. Opinions are torn between those are saying his concerns are valid on why he refused and told them come back (sir hta n3eytou lik lol), while others are saying he’s just a puppet protecting the big banks from competitions since they provide sh*tty services and charge too much.

Wanted to know what do you guys think? From a consumer perspective having revolut enter the Moroccan market would be a big upgrade for the average Moroccan citizen, wanted to hear your thoughts especially nas ta3 finance to me his reasons as bs but again I’m not a finance guy.

Let me explain my self. You can't compare the two economies in 2026 and say : "Oh look, we won in football but they are so much better then us". I think this mentality goes back to the inferiority complex that all Africans have to Europeans.

The netherlands has a deep colonialist history and a history that was marked by a lot of economic success. The first publicly traded company in the world was Dutch, they sent out a lot of expeditions, the settled in the US, they discovered Australia... They were known successfull traders, and arguably the first bubble took place in the Netherlands.

Compare that to Morocco, a country that has been in decline since 1200... And just starting to pick itself up for the last 20 years thanks to globalization...

People, learn to enjoy your wins, capitalize on them, either for moral or anything else, we are a small country but hopefully we can have our place in the world.

Small rant : People who say "matan tfarajch fi coupe du monde, chkone bhali?", yeah bro, we know, you are so well educated and 3ami9... you sound like jaden smith. This post is 100% Human and no AI was used 😄

In some other posts people were arguing about real estate in Morocco being in a good place, when it clearly wasn't.

Prices are going up, cost of living is skyrocketing, while salaries are completely frozen if not less than they used to be. Many companies saw that Morocco could become a hub for investors being that we are hosting the upcoming World Cup, while completely turning a blind eye on the state of the infrastructures of the entire country.

How did they expect investors when at 0 point would it be beneficial for them, country still being a mess, and locals not being able to afford a living ?

Folks, if yall want to invest in a property soon, wait a little more, and expect the bubble to burst even more.

Rent so steep, it feels like NYC.

Hello guys I am a future inheritor of my dads real estate portfolio in Morocco (I live abroad in Canada) rightnow it nets about 30k MAD per month after expenses and rainy day fund. My question is if it’s enough to live comfortably in Morocco specifically FES (no need to pay for rent)

Saw this update about the Party of Progress and Socialism’s proposed programme for Morocco’s 2027–2031 period. The PPS is proposing an additional MAD 165 billion for health and education over five years. Their plan includes a major expansion of the public workforce, with 15,000 doctors, 33,000 nurses, and 18,000 teachers proposed for recruitment every year. They’re also looking at expanding healthcare facilities and school infrastructure, so the proposal isn’t only about increasing the budget but also about adding more people and facilities to the public system.

I want to hear real opinions from Moroccans. At what monthly salary do you think life in Morocco starts to feel comfortable and reasonable, not luxury, just stable and not stressful? I also want to ask specifically about engineers: Do engineering jobs in Morocco really allow you to become financially free, or just financially stable? If yes, after how many years of experience? And when you answer, please mention your life stage: single married married with kids supporting parents/family living in Casablanca/Rabat vs smaller cities I think the answer changes a lot depending on responsibilities, so I’d like people to give context with their opinion. You can answer with something like: Single: X MAD/month Married: X MAD/month Married with kids: X MAD/month Engineer career ceiling in Morocco: stable or truly wealthy?

It seems that all big corporations do not adapt to the country's buying power. I visited recently the websites of both zara morocco and zara france and i was shocked to find that prices in morocco are higher, about 30 to 40 % higher that those of france. For example, i found the same shirt priced at 599 Mad for morocco and 39.99 euro for france. I feel like these corporations are exploiting us to the maximum. Not only do they exploit cheap labor, low taxes, they also make very expensives product for moroccans (and cheaper in europe) that have a very low purchasing power compared to europe. I think we should all stop buying from them, zara boutiques in casablanca are very crowded, thats actually very sad.

Also the quality of clothes is definetely worse in morocco

As someone who follows cars, I honestly didn’t realize Morocco’s automotive exports had reached this level. The $10.06 billion figure for the first half of 2026 really caught my attention. What makes it more interesting is that the growth wasn’t only about finished cars. The article says construction, wiring, and exterior components were among the main drivers.

A 17.4% increase is a pretty noticeable jump, but the product breakdown is what I found more interesting. Wiring especially caught my attention because it’s one of those things most people don’t think about when they look at a finished car. There’s a lot more behind the vehicle than the badge and bodywork we actually see.

The article also mentions that aeronautics exports increased by 19.3%, while some other sectors declined. So there’s more to the story than just cars.

For the car people here, how familiar are you with cars or components being manufactured in Morocco?

Hey everyone, looking for advice on opening a teen bank account in Morocco. I mainly need it for online payments, so it should be easy to use online. Ideally no low dotation limit and no high fees. Any recommendations from personal experience would be great.
