Morocco’s overall spending on imported goods increased by 50% over a 5-year period starting from $58.7 billion in 2021.
Year over year, the total value of Moroccan imports accelerated by 14.9% compared to $76.6 billion for 2024.
Based on the average exchange rate for 2025, the Moroccan dirham depreciated by -6.5% against the US dollar from 2024 to 2025. Morocco’s weaker local currency makes its imports paid for in lower valued Moroccan dirhams relatively more expensive for importers in Morocco.
In addition, Morocco’s inflation rate in terms of average consumer prices was 2.152% in 2025 up from an average 0.935% for 2024.

Smaller percentages came from Latin America (3.9%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean, fellow African countries (3.5%), then Oceania (0.1%) led by New Zealand and Australia.
Given Morocco’s population of 37.7 million people, its total US$88 billion in 2025 imports translates to roughly $2,350 in yearly product demand from every person in the northwest African nation. That per capita dollar amount exceeds the average $2,050 per person one year prior in 2024.
