Morocco has steered significantresources towards large investments in economic sectorsidentified as strategic to growth, and for increasedproductivity and value addition.

This CPSDidentifies policy recommendations and investmentopportunities that would foster job creation by the formalprivate sector and improve labor supply in skills that wouldanchor Morocco as an emerging economy, to continue its pathof growth, and to move into higher value-added andinnovative sectors.
