Morocco Boosts Defense Spending with 133.45 Billion Dirhams

The defense budget has seen a steady growth, with allocations of 133.45 billion dirhams in 2025 and 124.77 billion dirhams in 2024.
Morocco aims to bolster its defense sector by acquiring advanced weapons systems and upgrading military equipment. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to address complex security challenges and safeguard national borders.
The country also seeks to develop a domestic defense industry by attracting investment and integrating defense technologies. This effort is intended to enhance military sovereignty and reduce dependence on foreign imports.
Loudyi highlighted Morocco’s favorable business environment, security, economic stability, strategic location, and Atlantic coastline as key factors that could attract defense industry investment.
