“The continuity of foreign direct investments also allowed the Moroccan economy to have a very good economic situation in 2017,” explained Mr. Dadush, who moderated a conference-debate on “The world economy, what prospects in 2017 and 2018 and what impact on Morocco? », initiated by the Links center for legal, economic and social research in partnership with OCP Policy center.
Referring to economic competitiveness in Morocco, the French expert argued that the Moroccan economy is very competitive in terms of cost but less competitive in terms of the qualification of human resources, noting that with a more efficient education system and a job market favoring young people, Morocco would be much more competitive.
