Morocco is a politically stable, moderate Muslim
country, positioning itself as a regional hub for business, at the crossroads of North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The cornerstone of their program is the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which complements existing FTAs with the European Union and other nations in the region, giving Morocco access to 500 million consumers in the Mediterranean region. The U.S. Commercial Service in Casablanca stands ready to help your company explore the market and commercial opportunities in Morocco.
