Morocco Crowned Africa’s Safest Market for Business by Allianz Trade
Allianz Trade’s latest Country Risk Atlas confirms that Morocco remains the top‑rated African country for doing business, holding a stable “B1” rating. While global country risk improved in 2025, with twice as many upgrades as downgrades, major economies such as France, Belgium and the United States still face medium‑term challenges. The report highlights Morocco’s solid GDP growth, expanding industrial base and rising tourism, but also points to persistent issues in retail, real‑estate, youth unemployment and informal employment. The Atlas, covering 83 economies that account for roughly 94 % of world GDP, uses a proprietary model that mixes 35 short‑ and medium‑term indicators. Analysts stress that despite overall improvement, risk clusters persist and firms must adopt granular, country‑by‑country risk‑management strategies.
