Morocco: Net foreign assets (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Morocco's net foreign assets (current LCU) rose 64.85 billion on 2024 (from 398.17 billion to 463.02 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +11.98 billion and a typical year strayed about 20.86 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 64.85 billion in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 28.36 billion in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 21.83 billion a year. A straight line explains 87% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 477.43 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 32.79 billion, against 90.71 billion 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.
