Given assistance to large foreign manufacturers in Morocco in recent years would have required a serious effort to failure.
Renault French car manufacturer, for example, is booming 2 cars 8m, he made globally last year, one in ten trundled from its two brilliant assembly plants in Tangier and Casablanca She eventually hopes to 400,000 cars a year, the government provided the land, excellent roads and power, tax benefits and a railway line dedicated for vehicles with a huge port in Tangiers.
official efforts to cut red tape and make it easier for businesses to operate, and a penchant for the signing of free trade agreements, helps explain why foreign direct investment has soared, as it shrivels to his neighbors.
One of the main attractions Morocco's is a cheap labor supply, but he also spent heavily on infrastructure, and not only for Renault Its roads, railways, airports and ports are modern and well maintained.
It is handily close to the European home of most of the companies that have invested Importantly, unlike Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt, which in varying degrees can match these advantages, it offers political stability .
King Mohammed VI has defended a plan to industrialize quickly and create jobs for young Moroccans We try to do in ten years than Britain or France have 80 years to do, said a Moroccan businessman working with Safran, a french industrial group.
The country's home carpet has brought jobs four years ago Renault has invested $ 1 6 billion February 1 billion in its main car factory, the largest of Africa, and now employs about 10 000 employees recruited on the spot.
The company is one of the largest companies in the Morocco It produces vehicles such as the Lodgy, an entry level people carriers sold in Europe rapid growth was possible in part because the king has commanded his decrees if otherwise languorous officials to jump for example, in granting generous subsidies for training.
Other companies are attracted by Morocco largesse PSA Peugeot Citroen will open an assembly plant in Kenitra, on the Atlantic coast in 2019, and plans to make 200,000 cars a year.
Domestic sales account for a modest share of production Marc Nassif, Renault managing director in Morocco, said people bought 125,000 cars last year, about two-fifths of his Cabinet.
More important are the exports of cars that have earned a Morocco heavy August 4 billion last year, making them the largest export product of the country which is not a bad record for a country that, until 'recently, was based mainly on textiles and tourists for currencies.
Transfer of production to lower cost countries is an old strategy for the European car manufacturers Renault already has huge facilities in Slovenia, Romania, Turkey and Russia, as well as Spain, Nassif said that wages go up there, less in North Africa is more tempting one estimate monthly wage costs for the Renault workers in Romania and Turkey are about 950, against 350 in Morocco.
Other factors also contribute to explain the expansion Renault car manufacturers rely on sales in new markets to maintain growth of African consumers are a long-term bet to make vehicles that will appeal to their customers, manufacturers Car like to keep production close so they can change to suit local tastes the main point is that you must make when you sell, said Nassif.
local cheap and well trained and official munificence explain a boom in another manufacturing, aerospace Its growth has also been ordered by the king of Morocco just over a decade ago now some 100 companies, including Bombardier, Saffron, UTC, Hexcel and Eaton, employ 11,500 people, mostly in a free zone of Casablanca airport.
An industry veteran says the goal is to double the workforce at least by the end of this decade Hamid Benbrahim el-Andaloussi, who heads the trade body of the industry, said a monthly salary of aerospace starting is equivalent to 400 or less, rising to 800 middle managers wiring installation is closer to the craft as mass production, so that high quality workers are essential too.
The Government of Morocco funding a facility operated by similar undertakings in support of the automotive industry to form some 800 workers each year, it is being extended.
In the Safran plant in Casablanca, workers assemble structures pods encasing engines under the wings of airplanes and adjustment of composite honeycomb that help to stifle the cries of jet engines Safran boss Aerial Morocco, Thierry Fradet, praised the location of its factory expansion, saying finished products can reach Toulouse, headquarters of Airbus, southern France in three days by truck and boat.
These industries are reshaping the economy of Morocco But do not bring assembling the biggest job gains of greater value, such as research and design, or create a larger system of local suppliers M. Nassif expected local companies will eventually provide two thirds of components at Renault's plant in Tangier, but it does not say in the creation of a supply chain is difficult in aerospace, said a manager at Matis, a joint venture Safran and Boeing aircraft for wiring.
Suppliers should share the investment costs and risks of developing new components The following work getting local small businesses thrive prove more difficult than lure large foreign first.
