Moroccan Diaspora Pushes for Car Import Reform to Boost Economy and Tourism

This approach has an economic and social impact, say some Moroccans from the diaspora, who explain that the facilitation of the introduction of their vehicles in Morocco would benefit the kingdom and help boost the flow of travelers to their country of origin. The measure could also encourage MREs to travel to Morocco more frequently throughout the year, and not just during the summer season. A travel frequency that would only increase tourism revenue and local consumption.

Furthermore, insurance companies should see a resurgence of activity if MREs were allowed to clear their vehicles in Morocco. This development would expand the activities of insurance companies and strengthen their role within the national financial system. This measure would also open up new prospects for the after-sales service and vehicle maintenance market in Morocco, particularly in areas with a high influx of MREs. It should also have a positive impact on the job market and boost the local economy.

Some of them point out that this measure, far from being a burden for the State, would help strengthen the link between Moroccans from the diaspora and their country of origin, and support the national economy.
