Morocco’s planning commission says the country’s economic growth
will likely soften to 2.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2.5 per
cent in the first quarter of 2019.
The commission said on Wednesday in Rabat that the decline to 2.7 per cent from
3 per cent in the third quarter was due to a slowdown in non-agricultural
activity.
According to the agency, in a statement, growth is also currently seen falling
to 2.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2019 as the agency expects a lower
agricultural output.
Agriculture accounts for more than 15 per cent of Morocco’s economy
