ccording to figures released on Tuesday, October 6, by the U.S. Census Bureau, American imports of Moroccan goods reached 262.6 million dollars in August 2026, their highest monthly level since 1992, the first year of the published series. The previous peak, 255.7 million, dated back to January 2019, and the rise comes to 67.7% year on year, from 156.6 million in August 2025. In the other direction, American exports to Morocco stood at 676.9 million dollars, up 15.8%, so that the U.S. trade surplus narrowed to 414.3 million, against 427.8 million a year earlier.
Over the first eight months of the year, American sales to Morocco totaled 4.746 billion dollars, up 23.8%, and American purchases from the Kingdom 1.498 billion, up 21%, for a surplus of 3.248 billion in Washington’s favor. American exports have topped 600 million dollars every month since March, a threshold they had never crossed before, their previous monthly record dating from August 2025, at 584.5 million. These figures are compiled on the American side, in current dollars and without seasonal adjustment. September will tell whether August’s record marks a plateau or a mere peak.
