Rabat: The growth of Morocco’s national economy is expected to reach 5.4% in the third quarter of 2026, up from 4.8% in the previous quarter, according to the latest economic brief from the High Commission for Planning (HCP).

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the national economy is projected to show a resurgence in activity in the third quarter of 2026, following a first half marked by a slowdown in secondary sectors. The economic outlook for the mining and manufacturing industries appears more favorable, with year-on-year GDP growth expected to reach 5.4%, compared to +4.8% in the previous quarter. This growth is supported by a recovery in domestic demand and the gradual improvement in global trade.

The anticipated acceleration in growth is expected to be driven by a progressive broadening of sector-specific drivers. Agriculture is projected to continue its recovery, growing at a year-on-year rate of 19.9% in the third quarter of 2026.
