The case
Why capital is looking at Morocco
- Africa’s largest automotive manufacturing base, targeting a million vehicles a year, with an EV supply chain forming around it.
- Proximity and trade agreements give European market access that no sub-Saharan market can match on logistics cost.
- An increasingly sophisticated renewables sector, with phosphate and mining as an established base.
The risks
What would have to go wrong
Named plainly, because an allocator who finds these out later stops trusting everything else on the page.
- Heavy exposure to European demand and to EU automotive supply chains specifically.
- Social mobilisation over health and public services during October 2025 indicates domestic pressure.
- Climate vulnerability matters more than in most markets given agriculture’s share of employment.
