Morocco country watch

Exposure to Morocco means watching Bank Al-Maghrib and the dirham, Tanger Med and the ports of Casablanca and Agadir, Rabat's investment charter, tenders and water and energy plans, EU and US trade terms, drought and harvest news, and the autos, aerospace, phosphates, textiles and banking groups that link Europe and Africa. We read L'Économiste, Médias24, Le360, Les Inspirations ÉCO and Hespress every morning.
