Morocco fighting off the global economic crisis

leave a comment »

Whilst the world is gripped with recession, and with a worldwide tightening of economic belts, Morocco is bucking the trend and resisting the threat of recession as the country continues to enjoy positive economic growth in excess of 5% per annum. The process of modernisation continues, and recently Morocco has joined the OECD, only the second Arab nation to do so, behind Egypt and the third on the continent behind South Africa. The African Economic Outlook
The AEO attributes this to sound planning and a comprehensive infrastructure, achieved through the reforms which have taken place in the country over recent years.
The AEO for 2009 concentrates on communication and information technology throughout Africa. Having achieved a continent wide growth rate of 5% per annum consistently for over 50 years, the outlook for 2009 is only 2.8% as Africa feels the pinch, putting into context the strength of the Moroccan economy, which is predicted, even by the most conservative estimates, to be around 5% for the year.

Morocco-the creation of new tourist stations/areas

leave a comment »

The creation of new tourist stations / areas, by the Tourism Department has started including the improvement of the existing destinations such as Fez , Casablanca , Agadir, Tangier & Tetouan.
The signature of an Open Skies agreement with the EU in December 2005 is fostering further growth in passenger air transport, with a view to reaching some 1400 weekly connections, up from only 600 in late 2005, as well as boosting the proportion of direct flights to the country’s holiday resort destinations from 40 to 60%, according to Morocco’s transport minister.
The conclusion in May 2006 of a new five-year deal with Europe’s leading low-cost airline, Ryanair, was seen as a key indication of the sector’s renewed interest in the Moroccan market.
Additional major infrastructure developments include the current proposals for a Channel Tunnel link between Punta Paloma (Spain) and Tangier (Morrocco).
While neither Moroccan nor Spanish officials have given a bottom-line estimate for their project, private analysts said it could cost $6.5 billion to $13 billion. The two nations said that they are a long way from resolving financing details but that they hope to rely heavily on the European Union and the private sector.
If all goes to plan, by 2025 passengers could leave Europe somewhere under Punta Paloma, just outside the town of Tarifa, in Spain, and cross the African coastline under Cape Malabata, to the east of Tangier, an underwater stretch of some 17 miles.
