he International Monetary Fund forecasts growth of 4.5% for Morocco in 2026, after 4.9% in 2025, in its World Economic Outlook published on October 13 from Bangkok under the title Resilience under Strain, Urgent Choices.
Growth would ease to 4.2% in 2027. Inflation would stay mild, at 0.9% this year and 1.4% next year, while unemployment would fall from 12.2% to 11.3% of the labor force.
The other side shows in the external accounts: the current account deficit would go from 2.4% of GDP in 2025 to 4.9% in 2026, before easing back to 4.1% in 2027. Public debt would hold steady at 66.6% of GDP.
The Fund’s forecast comes within a tenth of a point of the World Bank’s, which put growth at 4.4% a week earlier.
