Editing Economy of Morocco (section)

==Economic growth==
Morocco is a fairly stable economy with continuous growth over the past half-a-century. Current GDP per capita grew 47% in the Sixties reaching a peak growth of 274% in the Seventies. However, this proved unsustainable and growth scaled back sharply to just 8.2% in the Eighties and 8.9% in the Nineties.

Real GDP growth is expected to average 5.5% in the 2009–13 period, seen the prospects in the tourism and the non-agricultural industry, as demand growth in the [[Eurozone]] — Morocco's key export market and source of tourists is projected to be more subdued. Growth will be well below the 8–10% levels that are widely regarded as necessary to have a major impact on [[poverty]] and [[unemployment]]. Economic growth will also be intermittently hindered by the impact of periodic [[drought]]s on the rain-fed agricultural sector, the country's largest employer.<ref name="Economist">{{cite news |date=25 March 2009 |title=Country Profile: Morocco |url=http://www.economist.com/countries/Morocco/profile.cfm?folder=Profile-FactSheet |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416031402/http://www.economist.com/countries/Morocco/profile.cfm?folder=Profile-FactSheet |archive-date=16 April 2009 |newspaper=The Economist}}</ref>
