King Mohammed VI looked back with pride on the major socioeconomic achievements accomplished under his leadership thanks to a strategic vision meticulous follow-up, constructive self-criticism, and positive, resolute policies turned into the future.
In the Throne Day speech delivered on Wednesday, the King said Morocco security and stability as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of state institutions are a rare, priceless commodity.
“Morocco derives its strength from its deep-rooted traditions as a nation-state – one in which institutions play their role in an environment characterized by harmony and integration”, said the Monarch, noting that this is what gives the state the necessary resolve to carry out its work, build upon achievements, and rise to challenges, regardless of the difficulties and constraints.
“Morocco has demonstrated this through the excellent organization of continental and international events – a fact that earned our country the respect and admiration of the world, and, at times, aroused the envy of some,” added the Monarch, saying the Kingdom has proved a considerable capacity to deal with disasters and crises, particularly through the proactive measures taken, for instance, to address the floods that affected the western and northern regions of the country.
“Thanks to security, stability, and institutional efficiency, positive indicators are on the rise across sectors, thus boosting economic growth and reinforcing national sovereignty”, said the Monarch, citing in this regard the country economic growth which stood at approximately 4.9% in 2025 and is expected to be roughly the same or higher in 2026.
Morocco has also experienced significant rainfall and a good agricultural season, which contributed to strengthening water and food security, said the King, highlighting the outstanding progress made by the Kingdom in industry, tourism, and financial investment.
Today, the automotive, aviation, renewable energy, and food processing sectors are fundamental pillars of the national production fabric, be it in terms of attracting foreign investment, or the creation of wealth and job opportunities, underlined the Monarch, saying Morocco has become the leading exporter of cars in Africa, with a production capacity of nearly one million cars a year. Moroccan exports from the automotive and aviation sectors have exceeded 40% of our total exports, ahead of phosphates.
The King has also recalled the new factories launched early this year, enabling Morocco to join the exclusive circle of countries possessing the largest industrial centers in the field of aircraft engine and landing gear manufacturing.
Furthermore, the development of an integrated electric battery sector reflects Morocco’s ability to anticipate technological transformations and integrate into the production chains of strategic industries, said the Moroccan Sovereign.
He also cited the major projects are now being implemented with a view to making renewable energy a pillar of our energy security, as well as a catalyst for attracting industries banking on the use of competitive, carbon-free energy.
To bolster this ambitious strategy, the “Morocco Offer” project for green hydrogen was launched through the licensing of an initial group of major projects, said the King.
In an international environment marked by a resurgence of protectionist policies and the need to secure supply and production chains, “I have made the consolidation of national sovereignty and strategic self-sufficiency a cornerstone of our industrial development”, underlined the Monarch, citing in this regard the food and pharmaceutical industries, which now cover approximately 80% of the country’s national needs.
Furthermore, establishing an industrial and technological base in defense and cybersecurity will gradually contribute to strengthening defense sovereignty, creating development opportunities, and consolidating the country’s position as a regional power, said the King.
