Rabat – Released in early April, the Good Country Index ranked 153 countries based on how they contribute to the greater good of humanity. Morocco ranked 77th in the most recent edition of the index, which was developed by British independent policy advisor Simon Anholt. Morocco ranked second in North Africa, fourth in the Arab world, and eighth in Africa. Within prosperity and equality, Morocco ranked well due to its open trading policies and the UN volunteers it sends abroad. In 2014, Morocco ranked 67th, but subsequently ranked 80th in 2016, and then gained more than 30 places to rank 44th in 2017.
