Morocco regains investment grade status from Standard & Poor’s

The American rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has upgraded Morocco’s sovereign credit rating, restoring the country to the coveted “investment grade” category.

Morocco had lost this status in 2021 following the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The positive revision follows an initial improvement in March 2024, when the outlook was raised from “stable” to “positive.” This new decision comes at a time of global economic uncertainty, during which many countries, including developed economies, have seen their ratings downgraded.

According to S&P, the upgrade reflects the strength of Morocco’s macroeconomic fundamentals and the resilience of its economy. Returning to “investment grade” status enhances Morocco’s appeal in international financial markets, making it easier to secure financing under better conditions, lowering public debt costs, and strengthening investor and partner confidence.
