What the numbers say
In 2024, Morocco's medium and high-tech exports (% manufactured exports) rose 2.96 percentage points on 2023 (from 66.88% to 69.84%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +1.45 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.8 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.32 percentage points in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.99 percentage points in 1994. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.86 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 75.6% for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.46%, against 5.29% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
