Investment in Morocco: The Indirect Warning from the Trump Administration to Rabat – La Nouvelle Tribune

A US State Department report highlights the lack of specific procedures in Morocco to screen foreign investments in strategic sectors such as critical minerals, rare earths, telecommunications, and renewable energy. The report states that Morocco has not refused or favored certain investors for security or political reasons but enforces sectoral restrictions, including a 49% foreign ownership limit in air, maritime transport, and fishing, and a 25% stake of ONHYM in mining activities. Discussions between Washington and Rabat focus on boosting mineral exploitation and securing access to critical minerals vital for the US industry.
