Morocco's construction sector shows signs of revival post-crises

Morocco's construction sector shows signs of revival post-crises

Posted on June 21, 2024   |  

Morocco's construction sector is experiencing a sustained recovery, boosted by the government's New Investment Charter and plans to host the World Cup in the 2030s.

Construction companies have faced challenges such as high building material costs, difficulties in securing bank loans due to global interest rate hikes, and project delays from the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine conflict.

The sector, employing 1.2 million people and encompassing 7,000 licensed firms, heavily relies on government-funded projects.

Government investment in infrastructure has surged by 42% annually to 64 billion dirhams this year, focusing on water, ports, roads, and public buildings.

Cement sales have risen by 7.31% annually, reaching 5.5 million tons by May, signaling recovery after previous declines.

Future projections suggest a 4.8% annual increase in cement sales over the next five years, potentially reaching 15.8 million tons by 2028.

To stimulate the residential real estate market, Morocco has allocated 9.5 billion dirhams ($948 million) to support middle and low-income families in purchasing homes this year.
