Summary
76th place worldwide puts Morocco higher in the latest Legatum Prosperity Index, a noticeable gain from around 96th in the early 2020s among roughly 170 economies.
More than 150 metrics across 12 pillars drove the ranking, with Legatum citing stronger regulatory frameworks, macroeconomic stability and some basic public services across Morocco and other MENA economies.
Morocco scores relatively better on investment environment and enterprise conditions than on social capital and personal freedoms, reflecting years of infrastructure upgrades and business-climate reforms.
The rise still leaves Rabat with reform pressure on youth unemployment, public debt, institutional trust and social cohesion as it tries to turn ranking gains into broader prosperity.
