Morocco's Trade with Africa Soars to 50 Billion Dirhams

Trade between Morocco and African countries has experienced a fivefold increase between 2001 and 2023, reaching 50 billion dirhams. This growth underscores Morocco's commitment to establishing a comprehensive and integrated logistics network across Africa.

Tangier Port: A Gateway to Africa

During the inauguration of the "Mobility, Transport, and Logistics 2024 LOGITER" forum and exhibition, held in Tangier on October 23, 2024, Khalid Cherkaoui, Secretary General of the Ministry of Transport and Equipment, highlighted the significant increase in trade between Morocco and African countries. He emphasized the pivotal role of the Tangier Med port in this expansion, with trade reaching 50 billion dirhams by 2023. This success is attributed to the strong belief in the importance of strengthening relations and fostering development within the continent.

Cherkaoui further highlighted the significance of Tangier Med port, which acts as a gateway to Africa by facilitating trade with 22 countries through its weekly exchanges. The port serves as a crucial hub connecting approximately 40 ports across the continent, accounting for over 40% of Africa's transport activity.

Continued Growth and Ambitions

The port's strategic position is further reinforced by its ranking as the fourth most efficient port globally in 2023, according to the Global Port Performance Index. In 2021, trade with African countries reached 46 billion dirhams. The target for 2024 is to achieve 65 billion dirhams, demonstrating the commitment to continued growth and economic integration within Africa.
