Morocco has climbed one spot in the Basic Profitability Index (BPI), a global benchmark measuring the appeal of countries for foreign direct investment (FDI).
Ranked 52nd out of approximately 100 countries, Morocco scored 1.06 points, reflecting improvements in asset growth, value preservation, and capital returns.
The BPI, developed by economist Daniel Altman, gauges how attractive countries are for FDI by estimating the potential five-year profitability of foreign investments based on macroeconomic data.
It remains one of the few indexes that integrates asset trends, capital stability, and value preservation into a single measure of investment appeal.
Over the past three years, Morocco’s position has steadily improved: ranked 65th in 2023 and 63rd in 2022, the country has made consistent progress in enhancing its economic fundamentals and investor climate.
Globally, India took the lead this year with a score of 1.28, followed closely by Rwanda (1.27), which also tops the list among African nations, and Malaysia (1.25).
Other high-performing countries included Botswana, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Georgia. Among Arab states, Saudi Arabia and Egypt made the top 20, ranked 11th and 13th respectively.
The BPI’s methodology assumes that FDI captures a share of the broader economy. Thus, any change in GDP size proportionally affects the investment’s value.
The model uses data primarily sourced from the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook database and is oriented toward long-term value rather than short-term volatility.
Morocco’s rising placement signals a growing investor confidence in the country’s economic trajectory, driven by infrastructure modernization, sectoral reforms, and expanding bilateral ties.
With leading African peers like Rwanda and Botswana significantly ahead in the rankings, the kingdom still faces competitive pressure to deepen structural reforms, accelerate green transition projects, and reduce regulatory barriers.
