Posture describes what an economy is doing; it is not a rating and never ranks countries. Each input is read against the country’s own history and against every other economy that year. An axis shows a score only after passing a back-test fixed before any result was computed. Method and back-test.

Passport reach

Where a Morocco passport opens doors

The share of world GDP, outside Morocco itself, in the economies whose published rules let a holder of this passport in, as of October 2026. Palanor records the rules of destinations holding 88% of world GDP, from each government’s own list, and weights them by World Bank GDP for 2025. Rank is among 199 passports.

Visit

6.1%

rank 125 of 199

short stays without a visa arranged in advance; 4 destinations in full.

Work

13.0%

rank 66 of 199

the right to work (free movement in full; treaty and working-holiday routes at half); 0 destinations in full, 1 at half.

Live

rank 51 of 199

a right to reside by nationality; 0 destinations in full.

Recorded changes

Reach is shown here and not weighted into Country Strength: it rewards membership of a free-movement area or a treaty more than the strength of an economy. Entry is always at the border officer’s discretion, and conditions (length of stay, fees, age limits) vary. Method, sources and the full ranking: Passports and citizenship.

GDP by expenditure

What Morocco’s economy runs on

In 2025, household spending was 59.3% of GDP, government consumption 18.0%, investment 31.9% and net exports -9.2% (exports 42.0%, imports 51.1%).

IMF World Economic Outlook

The IMF’s outlook for Morocco

The latest year before the October 2026 edition (often still an IMF estimate) and the IMF’s own projections. These are the IMF’s published forecasts, shown as published; Palanor does not project them further. Since the previous edition the IMF cut its growth forecast for this year by 0.4 percentage points (Palanor calculation).
