However, the World Bank stressed that the impact remains manageable relative to countries more directly affected by the regional conflict. The World Bank expects inflation to rise moderately to 2.4% in 2026, up from 0.8% in 2025, reflecting higher global prices rather than domestic overheating. Morocco’s growth prospects are also supported by a rebound in agricultural output, which is expected to play a stabilising role after periods of climate‑related volatility. “The risks remain tilted to the downside at the regional level,” the World Bank warned, noting that a prolonged conflict could deepen economic disruptions. According to the World Bank, Morocco’s experience demonstrates how targeted reforms and public‑private partnerships can support growth and job creation, even in a challenging external environment.
