Morocco’s Direction des Domaines de l’Etat published its annual report for 2025, documenting significant expansion in the mobilization of state-owned land for productive investment. The agency approved 308 projects on a total of approximately 32,000 hectares of public land, representing a projected investment of 71 billion dirhams and the creation of 16,333 jobs. Ninety percent of these projects were approved through decentralized management channels, with projected investment of around 56 billion dirhams and over 14,000 associated employment positions.
The geographic concentration of approved projects is notable: approximately 53 percent are located in two southern regions — Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra and Dakhla-Oued Eddahab — reflecting the state’s strategic emphasis on developing the country’s southern provinces. By sector, 73 percent of projects are concentrated in services, tourism, industry, and agro-industry. Energy projects received the largest land allocation, with nine projects assigned more than 26,600 hectares and projected investment exceeding 49 billion dirhams.
The land mobilization effort also supported Morocco’s Generation Green agricultural strategy, with 38 partnerships concluded over approximately 2,190 hectares, concentrated primarily in the Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, and Fès-Meknès regions. A further 686 hectares were allocated to public administrations for infrastructure and public facilities, an increase of 62 percent compared with 2024.
Two projects of strategic significance were approved through the National Investments Commission during the year. The first involves the establishment of two high-end textile manufacturing units in Skhirate and Fès. The second concerns a polysilicon plant to be built in Tan-Tan, with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons — a project intended to position Morocco as a strategic supplier of materials for photovoltaic cells and semiconductors.
Financial receipts generated by the state land portfolio reached 553 million dirhams for the general budget, while the Fonds de Remploi Domanial recorded revenues of approximately 43.97 billion dirhams, a 10 percent increase on 2024. On the legal front, 5,862 hectares were recovered from investors who failed to meet their contractual obligations, and 1,260 judgments were rendered in real estate disputes during the year, of which 73 percent were favorable to the state.
