Morocco has created 405,496 jobs thanks to projects launched under the umbrella of the industrial acceleration plan, Minister Moulay Hafid El Alamy said. With such a figure, the plan launched in 2014 has met 81% of its goal to create 500,000 employment opportunities by 2020, said the industry minister. Some of the most remarkable results were posted by the car industry, aeronautical industry and phosphates. Thanks to this plan, Morocco created clusters in the car industry and aeronautics, attracting investments by car giants such as Renault and Peugeot along with leading car-part suppliers. The same can be said about aeronautics with investments from Bombardier, Latisma, Alcoa and Stelia.
