Morocco has risen to the forefront of global destinations for Italian exporters and investors, according to a recently released report by Italy’s export credit agency SACE, which identifies the country as one of the most attractive markets among nearly 200 surveyed.
SACE’s updated metrics place Morocco at 78/100 on the export opportunity index and 68/100 on the investment opportunity index, ranking it among the agency’s highest‑potential international markets.
Italy exported €2.8 billion worth of goods to Morocco in 2024, while importing €2.2 billion, making the kingdom Italy’s 41st‑largest export destination worldwide and the eighth within the Middle East and North Africa region.
The agency highlights Morocco’s expanding industrial base, its strategic geographic positioning and stable macroeconomic environment as key factors underpinning its attractiveness.
Political risk stands at 45/100, and credit risk at 58/100, levels SACE considers manageable for foreign investors seeking long‑term market engagement.
SACE’s office in Rabat continues to support Italian firms exploring opportunities in sectors such as renewables, manufacturing, agribusiness and automotive components, providing risk assessments and business‑matching services.
