Fuel Prices Drop Globally, But Morocco Sees Little Relief
Rabat – Despite a significant drop in global oil prices since early April, fuel prices in Morocco remain stubbornly high. Moroccan consumers are expressing frustration, questioning why they are not benefiting more from the international decline. On April 3, global oil prices began to fall sharply, with crude oil dipping to around $60 per barrel, partly due to a trade war launched by US President Donald Trump. This drop had an immediate effect on fuel prices in the international market. President Trump promised lower gasoline prices. Gas prices have dropped due to a nearly 25% fall in crude oil prices since January, with West Texas Intermediate falling from $80 to under $60 per barrel. Economic uncertainty from tariffs has slowed global growth and oil demand, especially in China. In addition, the recent ceasefire between Iran and Israel led to a sharp drop in global oil prices. Initially, oil prices had spiked due to concerns that the conflict might escalate and threaten the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments. However, once the situation de-escalated and the Strait remained open, markets quickly stabilized. Crude oil prices fell by around 10% within days, returning to the mid-$60s per barrel. This drop in oil prices reduced the geopolitical risk premium and translated into lower fuel costs globally. Price and market gaps However, in Morocco, the change has been barely noticeable. If anything, fuel prices paradoxically rose, with prices at local gas stations having dropped by only 20 cents per liter in mid April. . But as of July 1, fuel prices in Morocco increased again, affecting both diesel (gasoil) and gasoline (petrol). Diesel prices shot up by 41 cents per liter, bringing the price at major stations like Afriquia and Shell in Casablanca to MAD 10.98 per liter, and slightly lower at Winxo with MAD 10.95 per liter. Gasoline prices went up by 29 cents per liter, reaching MAD 12.94 per liter at Afriquia and Shell, and MAD 12.91 per liter at Winxo. The initial minimal decrease followed by higher increases has sparked criticism, particularly given that, according to the pricing method used before fuel market liberalization in late 2015, current local prices should be much lower. Based on past calculations, diesel should now cost under MAD 9.41 per liter, and gasoline should be priced at less than MAD 10.87 per liter. Critics argue that Moroccan fuel distributors are not adjusting prices in line with international markets. While the Competition Council noted in its Q4 2024 report that companies fully reflected lower purchase costs in gasoline prices, it also found that diesel prices dropped only slightly more than purchase costs, by just 20 cents per liter. Even more revealing are the profit margins. In late 2024, net profits per liter reached MAD 1.28 for diesel and MAD 1.67 for gasoline, still lower than in the third quarter, but significant enough to raise eyebrows. Conflict of interest? The issue has also reignited political tensions. Many Moroccans point fingers at the current government led by Aziz Akhannouch, who is also the founder of Afriquia, one of the biggest fuel distributors in the country. Accusations of conflict of interest have resurfaced, with some questioning whether the government is doing enough to regulate fuel prices fairly. These concerns are not new as Afriquia has previously been targeted in nationwide boycott campaigns in 2018. Social media campaigns like '#Degage_Akhannouch' have gained widespread traction, blaming him for 'profiting from Moroccans' hardship.' The Competition Council fined nine fuel companies, including Afriquia, a combined MAD 1.84 billion in late 2023 for collusion, price fixing, and deviating from global price trends. Critics argue that Akhannouch's dual role as government leader and major industry stakeholder threatens transparency, competition, and public trust.

Multisectoral Partnership Drives India-Morocco Ties Forward, More Growth on Horizon
Rabat – Guided by King Mohammed VI's vision, Morocco's diplomacy has positioned the North African country as a key player and a strategic partner on the global stage. Through an almost octopus-like approach to foreign policy, Morocco's diplomacy has proven influential from north to south and west to east, creating strategic relations across continents. The country's multidirectional diplomacy enabled Morocco to not only deepen its partnership in Africa and Europe but also expand toward global powerhouses like India, a leader in many sectors, including information technology, exports, and innovation. Beyond diplomatic ties Recent data from the Indian government noted that the country's exports have reached $778.21 billion in 2023-2024. The number represents a 67% increase from 466.22 billion in 2013-2014, the same data shows, attributing the situation to India's 'expanding role in global trade, driven by strong performances in both merchandise and services exports.' Morocco's stability, appealing business environment, and advanced infrastructure make the country an ideal partner for countries across the world, especially those seeking to expand into new markets. For world leaders, a presence in Morocco means access to a fast-growing market, Africa — a continent with vast untapped potential in all industries, including agriculture. The continent's agriculture sector covers vast arable lands that remain underutilized, offering significant opportunities that could serve the continent's food security. Morocco's high-value sectors, like aeronautics and automotive, as well as the renewable energy industry, also provide fertile ground for both existing and potential. Multisectoral partnerships Statistics from different sources, including the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), have confirmed an already strong tie between India and Morocco. The observatory indicated that India exported $101 million to Morocco in March 2025. Meanwhile, the country imported $46 million as of March, with the observatory stressing that this resulted in a positive trade balance of $55.3 million. 'Between March 2024 and March 2025, the exports of India to Morocco increased by $8.15M (8.75%) from $93.1M to $101M, while imports decreased by $57.8M (55.7%) from $104M to $46M,' the data shows. India's main exports to Morocco include drug formulations, motor vehicles, cars, and biologicals. In 2020, Morocco exported $1.39 billion to India, with the main products exported covering phosphoric acid, mixed mineral or chemical fertilizers. Over the past 25 years, Moroccan exports to India strengthened at an annual rate of 6.25%, jumping from $306 million in 1995 to $1.39 billion in 2020. In 2020, meanwhile, India exported $623 million to Morocco, with imports including refined petroleum, packaged medicines, and cars. India's exports to the North African country reached an annual rate of 11.8%, jumping from $38.9 million in 1995 to $623 million. India's private industry increasingly sees Morocco as an attractive investment destination. Over the years, the number of Indian companies operating in Morocco has grown from 12 to 40, with businesses from the Asian country focusing on different sectors, including automotive, IT, green technologies, and hospitality. Some notable Indian companies operating in the North African country include Tata Motors, Sterling and Wilson, Larsen and Toubro, Sumilon, Furnace Fabrica, among several others. Morocco's appealing sectors In March, India's main imports from Morocco were fertilizers, which represent a key cornerstone sector in Morocco's economy. The North African country positioned itself as a global leader in fertilizer production, as it is home to over 70% of the world's phosphate reserves. In 2023, Morocco's fertilizer giant OCP Group announced a deal with India to supply the Asian country with 1.7 million metric tonnes of phosphate-based fertilizer. Under the deal, OCP announced it will supply 700,000 tonnes of fertilizers to the country. OCP emphasized that the fertilizers would be tailored to meet the needs of farmers' soil, with another one million tonnes to be supplied directly to farmers. Beyond fertilizers, Morocco is considered a powerhouse in other sectors, including the automotive industry, competing with key players like China and India. The Moroccan government is also confident that its automotive sector has the potential to be more competitive than these countries. Recently, Morocco's Minister of Industry, Ryad Mezzour, announced that the country's automotive production stands at 700,000 vehicles. The minister said that Morocco is expected to produce one million vehicles by the end of the year. Morocco's proximity to Europe and its position as a gateway to Africa attract dozens of industrial companies from all sectors, including automotive. Free zones across Kenitra, Tangier, Casablanca, and beyond host major automotive companies, including Renault, Stellantis, Yazaki, and more. Indian companies are also establishing a presence in the North African country, including Motherson Group. In 2022, the group opened its new site in Tangier Med, with a focus on producing instrument panels and door panels for passenger and light commercial vehicles. During the opening ceremony, the group emphasized Morocco's position as a strategic location for Motherson due to its proximity to Europe and the Middle East, noting that the new facility allows it to better serve its existing and new customers in the regions. Beyond the automotive sector, the partnership between Morocco and India also extends into different areas like defense and military collaboration. Expanding into defense and beyond In 2024, Moroccan military officials, including Abdellatif Loudidyi, Morocco's Minister Delegate in charge of national defense administration, highlighted the importance of bilateral ties and stressed how the two countries have 'every potential to pursue their positive momentum in various fields, including defense.' He also renewed Morocco's commitment to providing favorable conditions for Indian defense companies, vowing zero bureaucracy and profitability. 'We want you in Morocco, we will support you, ' Loudyi said, according to the Hindu. A strategic partnership in defense has already begun to take shape between the North African country and India's Tata Group. The military deal included a shipment of 90 military trucks. In September 2024, Morocco's military and TATA Advanced Systems Limited teamed up to produce the WhAP 8×8 armored combat vehicle domestically. The Moroccan Ministry of Defense said the project is a systematic step toward deepening the historical ties between Morocco and India. All of the aforementioned agreements and partnerships stem from strong diplomatic ties between the two countries. Many officials from both countries stressed the importance of these relations in forging further agreements benefiting New Delhi and Rabat at all levels. In May, a senior diplomat from the Indian embassy in Rabat emphasized the importance of ties between the two countries. In an exclusive statement to Morocco World News (MWN), the official warmly welcomed Morocco's place as a strategic ally to India. 'India and Morocco share a time-tested and resilient partnership built on deep mutual respect, strategic convergence, and shared quest for the well-being and prosperity of our citizens,' the official who preferred to speak under a condition of anonymity said. 'We value its stability, moderation, and deep ties to multiple regions,' the official added. The same remarks were echoed by the former Indian ambassador to Morocco in 2024 during the MWN-led initiative Rabat Networking Day (RND) in January, when Rajesh Vaishnaw celebrated the strong bilateral ties between Rabat and New Delhi. Commenting on ties between Morocco and India, Vaishnaw described them as 'friendly and close.' King's visit brought momentum to ties The former ambassador emphasized that relations have been strengthened, particularly after the landmark visit of King Mohammed VI to India in 2015. According to the Moroccan embassy in India, Morocco 'was an unknown destination for Indians for business and investment' for a long time . 'However, since the historic visit to India of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God Assist Him, in October 2015 on the occasion of the 3rd Summit of the India-Africa Forum, the Kingdom of Morocco has become increasingly present in the radar of the Indian business community and Indian multinationals in particular,' the embassy said. Most recently, reports resurfaced about a potential visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in early July as part of his potential five-nation diplomatic tour. However, a high-level source from the Indian embassy in Rabat familiar with the matter told MWN that the visit is unlikely to take place as such a visit should be well-planned. Similar high-level visits bring further momentum to relations between countries. A potential visit in the future by Modi could bring further momentum to Morocco-India relations, especially if India moves beyond its traditional position and joins the growing number of powers in recognizing Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in Western Sahara. A shift towards full recognition or support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan as the most serious and credible political solution to the dispute would place India alongside over 113 countries, including the US, UK, France, and Spain. Morocco has constantly emphasized how Western Sahara is the lens through which Rabat views its relations and cooperation with other countries.

Morocco champions human rights in business at UN event in Geneva
مدة القراءة: 3' For Habib Belkouch, Interministerial Delegate for Human Rights (DIDH), Morocco's participation in the forum aims to «expand the circle of stakeholders in the human rights project» by fully integrating businesses. He emphasized that this topic, now central to United Nations debates, is part of ongoing discussions around a binding international treaty on business and human rights. According to Belkouch, «Morocco brings to Geneva the conclusions of the Morocco-Africa Forum in Marrakech», recently held to help forge a common approach between Africa and the Arab world. He outlined three key pillars of Moroccan policy: - Protecting workers' rights, through a new law on the right to strike, described as «a balanced law that protects both workers and business interests». - Combating child labor, reaffirming that «a child's rightful place is in school». - Promoting gender parity in corporate governance, with legal targets of 30% women on company boards by 2024 and 40% by 2027. CGEM at the Forefront Representing the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), Youssef Alaoui noted that 95% of the Moroccan private sector is made up of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With over 90,000 members, CGEM has become a key player in social dialogue and economic governance. Since 2007, it has developed governance codes tailored to companies of all sizes, recently reinforced by an annual barometer for responsible governance. On the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) front, CGEM has awarded more than 150 Corporate Social Responsibility labels, now recognized at the European level through the Responsibility Europe network. A dedicated Responsible SME label has also been launched to support smaller businesses. On the social side, Alaoui praised the structured tripartite dialogue between the government, trade unions, and employers, which has led to a 20% increase in the minimum wage over the past six years. The constitutional right to strike is now regulated by a 2024 law that guarantees both union freedom and the right to work. Advancing Gender Parity in Governance Another key achievement, according to Alaoui—who also chairs the CGEM group in the Chamber of Advisors—is the extension of mandatory health insurance to 86% of the population, backed by a public contribution of 35 billion dirhams. CGEM has also launched a Social Academy, which has already trained over 100 managers in conflict prevention and collective bargaining, 42% of them women. Highlighting the link between diversity, economic performance, and sustainability, Alaoui called for a shift in mindset where women's representation in leadership is no longer symbolic but seen as a true growth driver. «Some companies already have 50 to 60% women in their governance structures», he noted. He also highlighted that child labor in Morocco has been reduced by 90% over the past two decades, dropping from 600,000 in 1999 to fewer than 60,000 today. Anti-child labor clauses, he added, will be integrated into CSR frameworks, especially in high-risk sectors like agriculture, construction, and textiles. International Recognition UN representatives praised Morocco's efforts. Pernille Fenger, Director of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) office in Geneva, commended the quality of strategic dialogue with the Moroccan government, particularly on gender equality and reproductive rights, with a focus on youth, women, and people with disabilities. Olga Nilova, a specialist in the UNDP's Business and Human Rights program, applauded Morocco for convening more than 300 participants, from governments, businesses, unions, and NGOs, and reaffirmed the UNDP's support for implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Through this high-level event, Morocco sought to present a model that reconciles economic development, social inclusion, and human rights—a complex challenge, but one rooted in a clear vision: a private sector that drives transformation in the service of shared prosperity.
