Morocco, Brazil bolster economic ties
The LIDE Brazil-Morocco Forum in Marrakech, held on Wednesday, brought together more than 100 business leaders, policymakers, and institutional representatives
Morocco’s inflation surged to 2.2% in Q1 2025, up from 0.7% in Q4 2024, driven by higher food costs, the High Commission for Planning (HCP) said. Food prices rose 3.7%, with meat adding 1 percentage point, while non-food items climbed 1.1%. Fresh fish and vegetables also contributed to the uptick. The HCP linked the increase to persistent price pressures on staples, signaling continued strain on household budgets in the coming months.
