What the numbers say
In 2025, Morocco's trade (% of GDP) rose 0.91 percentage points on 2024 (from 92.19% to 93.1%).

This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below 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 25.38 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 15.46 percentage points in 2009. 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 2.94 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 61% of the movement over 10 observed years.
