Num. 6. El proceso de privatización y las reformas económicas en Marruecos: un recorrido histórico desde la independencia a la Política Europea de Vecindad

Documentos CIDOB Mediterráneo; 6

The objective of this work is to analyse the structural reforms undertaken by Morocco over the past 25 years, paying close attention to its privatisation programme. In this sense, it examines the different stages in which this process has developed, highlighting the latest period of institutional progress given impetus in the framework of a government of alternation and after the ascension of Mohammed VI to the throne and especially promoted by the 2005 Action Plan defined by the European Neighbourhood Policy. The authors argue, as the main reason for the slowing of economic growth and the deficient improvement in standards of living in the country, the development of an economic policy that translates into rigidity in the job market, excessive fiscal pressure, a regime of fixed exchange rates that compromise foreign competitiveness and a trade policy which is still very protectionist.
