The document provides information on various economic and demographic indicators for Morocco. It discusses Morocco's GDP trends, exports, imports, inflation rate, infrastructure, wealth distribution, labor force, government structure, currency, climate, and population demographics. The economy has grown at around 2.5-5% annually in recent years. Agriculture, automobiles, and phosphates are key exports, while fuel, wheat, and electronics are major imports. The population includes Berbers, Arabs, and small Jewish and sub-Saharan communities.
3. Morocco Geographic
Platform
(Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans,Arabs)Apart from these global questions, some
Mediterranean populations are of special interest: the genetic position of Basques and
Sardinians in relation to their neighbors in the differentiation between Berbers and
Arab-speakers in the south, and the genetic impact of the seven centuries of Muslim
domination in the Iberian Peninsula as representative of south-north interchanges.
(Bosch, Calafell, Santos et al. 1999, Simoni et al. 1999) argued the existence of a strong
genetic differentiation between the and south Mediterranean coasts, mainly related to
different Neolithic expansion events on each side of the sea basin. (Torroni et al. 1998,
Richards et al. 2000). Proposed a west-east gardens generated by upper Palaeolithic
population expansions (some of them from the western Mediterranean)

5. Climate
According to (Lachir,Asia 2016). We find the growing
season surface temperature differences between urban
and other cover types to vary between 1.6 C and 6.0 C
at 1:00 p.m., and between 0.7 C and 1.1 C at 5:00 a.m,
A complete urbanization of the area would decrease its
carbon uptake by 0.13 tons and increase it’s daytime
surface temperature by1.3 C, with 5.72% increase in
energy consumption. However, in the a “smart” urban
growth scenario, we assume the build-up to cover 50%
of the area, allowing it to occur first on the bare lands,
and then we convert all remaining bare lands to
orchards; this would counterbalance 60% of daytime
warming and sequester 31%more carbon, compared to
the actual situation. We find irritated golf courses to be
the most-consuming covers types, requiring 15 times the
region's summer rainfall, and urban areas to 43.8%of
income's preciousness as surface runoff versus only
16.74% for all other types combined.
6. Government Structure
Conventional long form:
“Al Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah” (Kingdom of Morocco)
Conventional short form:“Al Maghrib” (Morocco)
Constitutional monarchy: Head of state: King Mohamed VI (since July 1999) is the hereditary monarch.
King VI of Morocco appointedAbdelilah Benkirane, the Secretary General of the moderate PDJ, to lead of
the new government of Morocco following 2011 parliamentary.
Cabinet: Council of Ministers was nominated by the prime minister and appointed by the king.
Legislative branch (Consists of an upper house -- "Majlis al-Mustasharin" or Chamber of Counselors (270
seats; members elected indirectly by local councils, professional organizations, and labor syndicates for nine-
year terms; one-third of the members are renewed every three years) and a lower house -- "Majlis al- Nuwab"
or the Chamber of Representatives (352 seats; 295 by multi-seat constituencies and 30 from national lists of
women; members elected by popular vote for five-year terms)
7. Currency
According to (Africa mentor, 2016). We forecast the Egyptian pound will
continue in its depreciatory trajectory over 2016 as the Central Bank of Egypt
(CBE)'s willingness and ability to support the unit wanes. e pound was trading
at EGP8.0215/USD on November 3, and we forecast it to end 2016 at
EGP8.8000/USD – a decline of 10% against the dollar. Looking at a
combination of macro fundamentals, investor perceptions (highlighted through
non-deliverable forward contracts) and the likely direction of future
government policy, it becomes clear that further losses are on the cards over the
coming quarters.Although we believe a one-o devaluation will be avoided,
from our standpoint all signs are pointing to the potential for considerable losses.

PPP terms – PPP). Nor is the step between Israel and Palestine more acute than in the Spain – Morocco case (10th N; the World Bank does not provide
PPP data for Palestine). The Greece–Turkey border is the 46th PPP and 39th N. The border that separates the poorest country of America, Haiti, and the
Dominican Republic is only the 39th N and the 18th PPP. On the other hand, there are some surprising ‘presences’ too. For instance, China is usually
considered as a developing country, but it exceeds Tadjikistan by 5.2 N (the 33th least equal border) or by 3.7 PPP (21th).
Concentrating on the top 10, it could be argued that some of the pairs are exceptions that should not be taken into account. For instance, Norway and
Finland’s steps with Russia are apparently very steep, but in the PPP ranking they are not in the top 20. This means that the difference between their
economies is not so sharp once one eliminates the distortions created by currency exchanges against the dollar. Apart from these cases, the rest share a
characteristic: their economic relationship is scarce, minimal in relation to their economies or their external exchanges with other countries. In some
cases, it is because of the tiny size of countries such as Hong Kong or Macao compared with the immensity of China, the most populated country on
earth. And although the World Bank ranks these economies separately, the fact is that Hong Kong and Macao have been special administrative regions
of China since1997 and 1999 respectively.
In other cases, we have countries whose borders are delineated by steep geographic accidents that only allow for a theoretical neighbourhood. This is the
case of Algeria, separated from Mali by 2000 kms of Sahara desert, and from Niger by the terrible Ténéré (4th and 5th PPP and 10th N). Another

10. Wealth distribution in the
population
According to ForeignAffairs (2015).To boost the sector’s profitability
and make employment in the sector more sustainable, the government
launched a strategic development plan in 2008, known as the “Green
Morocco Plan.” More than $5.5 billion has been invested in the
sector since, focusing on modernization, increase of productivity,
sustainability, and the uptake of high-revenue crops. By 2020, the
plan is expected to raise the contribution of agriculture to GDP to
$18 billion, to create an additional 1.15 million jobs, and to triple the
income of nearly three million people in rural areas.
11. Enemies
According to Emerson. R (1962)American policy inAfrica.America policy operates in a
setoff old-established friendship and understandings, supplemented in the postwar years by a
network of alliances such as those creating NATO, CENTO and SEATO; andAmerican
tase scattered about the globe.
Morocco’s allies The GulfArabs invited Morocco to join their organization GCC.
The United States, Morocco was the first country in the world to recognize the US as an
Independent nation and been friends ever since.
Morocco Half-friend/half-enemies Spain, which is occupying two Moroccan cities and even
forced Moroccan troops off one of our own islands in 2002
Morocco’s enemiesAlgeria, Morocco andAlgeria have been enemies since independence
Tindouf province ws part of Morocco until 1953 when France annexed it intoAlgeria.
12. Labor Force
According to Issa.A.E & SiddeckA.G (2012) Higher
Learning Education in theArabian state. The globalization
context is relevant. In recent decades a variety of political
economic, and other societal forces combined to generate
increased and more frequent flows of the people seeking a
better life, worldwide making migration and refugee
movement global issue presenting challenges at the global,
national and sub-national levels the general features of
globalization and educational policy and research.
13. Inflation rate
According to Haynes, M (2017). Consumer sentiment
remaining downbeat and considerable headwinds still
facing the economy, growth this year is expected to show
a marked improvement over the lackluster performance
of 2012.A drought that year battered the agriculture
sector—which accounts for some 16% of economic
activity and 40% of total employment—knocking back
headline economic growth. Meanwhile, weak external
demand only further dampened growth. We estimate
growth dipped to 2.5% in 2012, half the rate achieved in
2011.
14. Infrastructure(Transport &Utilities )
According to Haynes. M (2017) Back with Brinks,
Development currently planned or underway within the
city limits include CityGate, a mixed-use community
spread over 8.5 million m, Palm hills, a 25 million m
development which is planned to break ground this year.
15. Main Export
According toAtlas media (2016) MoroccooMorocco is the
51st largest export economy in the world. In 2016,
Morocco exported $22.6B and imported $41.5B, resulting
in a negative trade balance of $18.9B. In 2016 the GDP
of Morocco was $101B and its GDP per capita was
$7.84k.
The top exports of Morocco are Cars ($2.95B), Insulated Wire ($2.46B), Mixed Mineral or Chemical Fertilizers ($1.83B), Phosphoric
Acid ($1.14B) and Non-Knit Women's Suits ($1B), using the 1992 revision of the HS (Harmonized System) classification. Its top
imports are Refined Petroleum ($3.43B), Cars ($1.98B), Wheat ($1.3B), Petroleum Gas ($1.13B) and Insulated Wire ($1.11B).
The top export destinations of Morocco are Spain ($5.34B), France ($4.83B), Italy ($1.06B), the United States ($795M) and India
($758M). The top import origins are Spain ($7.68B), France ($4.73B), China ($3.08B), Germany ($2.32B) and the United States
($1.93B).
Morocco borders Algeria, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Spain by land and Portugal by sea.
16. Imports
According to Tradingeconomics (2017)Morocco imports crude
petroleum, textile fabric, telecommunications equipment, wheat,
gas and electricity, transistors, plastics. Its main imports partners
are: France, Spain, China, Italy, Germany, United States and
SaudiArabia. This page provides - Morocco Imports - actual
values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar
and news. Morocco Imports - actual data, historical chart and
calendar of releases - was last updated on December of 2017.
17. Other population Demographics
According to People. (2012)Morocco's population also includes a
small Jewish minority, which is the remnant of a significant pre-
1948 population, as well as a small number of people fromAfrican
and European countries. In addi- tion, an indeterminate number
of Sahrawi are counted among the Moroccan population. These
people, native to the disputed territory of Western Sahara, when
living in territories claimed by Morocco, are counted as
Moroccans by the government without distinction.
18. Wrap up- Why select your country
Morocco was choosing as an location, because it's a dream vacation retreat
and very we’re very much curious about how the people are and how do
they survive? I asked this questions to myself because of the many different
ethnicities that lives in this country, just because it's located inAfrica doesn't
mean that the race of people will be just predominate black. The country
have many resources and allies to help keep this beautiful utopia alive and
well after doing this research I think it's time to build and give it a try. Like
all countries around the world globalization may break a country, but
education keep us thriving no matter where you are leaders are consistently
putting emphasis on developing a workforce through education.
