Morocco is Africa's most trade-integrated economy by most measures, with total merchandise trade exceeding $70 billion annually and a network of free trade agreements covering the EU, USA, Turkey, and multiple Arab League states. This unique FTA network allows Morocco to attract manufacturing investment that produces goods for multiple preferential markets: a European automotive components manufacturer in Tangier's automotive zone can supply European automakers duty-free via the EU FTA and North American buyers through AGOA. Morocco's Phosphate-based fertiliser exports cover Africa under OCP Group's pan-African fertiliser programme, while its financial services sector is invested in 25 African countries.
Africa Strategy
King Mohammed VI has personally championed Morocco's return to the African Union (from which it was absent for 33 years) and its pan-African commercial strategy. Attijariwafa Bank and Banque Centrale Populaire are Morocco's continental banking champions. The OCP Group provides fertilisers to 50 African countries. Businesses using Morocco as a manufacturing or financial hub for both European and African markets can access investment contacts on intra-africa.com.
For businesses looking to expand across Africa, intra-africa.com offers a comprehensive trade directory, verified buyer and seller listings, and real-time market intelligence covering all 54 African nations. It remains an indispensable resource for anyone serious about intra-African commerce.
