King Mohammed VI affirmed that stability is the key element in the development equation as it is the strategic asset we cherish in Morocco.
“Today, stability is the key element in the development equation; it is the strategic asset we cherish in Morocco,” the Sovereign said in his speech on Wednesday on the occasion of the Throne Day.
According to the Sovereign, this is a pivotal moment in Morocco’s “development; a time when confidence and optimism should prevail over despair and frustration.” “What gives us the greatest sense of pride and satisfaction is the security and stability enjoyed by Morocco, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of state institutions,” the King enthused, believing that political and institutional stability is “a rare, priceless commodity,” in a regional and international environment with no shortage of fluctuations and upheavals. He also stressed that “thanks to security, stability, and institutional efficiency, positive indicators are on the rise across sectors, thus boosting economic growth and reinforcing national sovereignty.” Additionally, the Sovereign underlined that Morocco derives its strength from its deep-rooted traditions as a nation-state – one in which institutions play their role in an environment characterized by harmony and integration. This is what gives the state the necessary resolve to carry out its work, build upon achievements, and rise to challenges, regardless of the difficulties and constraints.
In this regard, Morocco has demonstrated this through the excellent organization of continental and international events, he underscored, noting that such a fact earned the country the respect and admiration of the world, and, at times, aroused the envy of some.
Concerning the Kingdom’s economic performance, the Sovereign indicated that the growth rate stood at approximately 4.9% in 2025 and is expected to be roughly the same or higher in 2026.
As regards agriculture, Morocco experienced significant rainfall and a good agricultural season, which contributed to strengthening water and food security, he noted.
With regard to industry, Morocco has also been able to strengthen its position as a hub for industrial, tourism, and financial investment, as shown by the evolution of the indicators concerned, particularly in industry, King Mohammed VI noted, adding that today, “the Kingdom has become the leading exporter of cars in Africa, with a production capacity of nearly one million cars a year.” “As a result, Moroccan exports from the automotive and aviation sectors have exceeded 40% of our total exports, ahead of phosphates,” he observed. He also recalled the launching ceremony of new factories, which has enabled “Morocco to join the exclusive circle of countries possessing the largest industrial centers in the field of aircraft engine and landing gear manufacturing.” Furthermore, the development of an integrated electric battery sector reflects Morocco’s ability to anticipate technological transformations and integrate into the production chains of strategic industries, he continued, noting that major projects are now being implemented with a view to making renewable energy a pillar of our energy security, as well as a catalyst for attracting industries banking on the use of competitive, carbon-free energy.
On the global stage, Morocco managed to consolidate its position as a reliable, respected, and influential player, the Sovereign underscored, noting that the Kingdom is today an important economic player and a sought-after partner in new, balanced, forward-looking partnerships.
“This has enabled our country to deal effectively and confidently with all its partners, and to propose constructive partnerships and promising cooperation initiatives on key bilateral and international issues,” the Moroccan Sovereign underlined.
