Morocco’s Real Estate Sector Booms Amid Economic Growth and World Cup 2030 Preparations

The positive economic dynamics noted at the beginning of this year 2025 have positively impacted the real estate sector. "A positive economic dynamic can only have a virtuous impact on the real estate sector as a whole. While its socio-economic transversality no longer needs to be demonstrated, it nevertheless remains sensitive to both the economic situation and structural state orientations," explained expert Amine Mernissi in an interview with the weekly Finances News.

The Moroccan real estate sector should also recover with the organization of the 2030 World Cup. "Today, we are on a favorable trend, driven in particular by this 2030 horizon that is on everyone’s lips, namely the organization of the World Cup. However, we should warn against overheating, often due to an anticipation effect that feeds a speculative phenomenon, and, consequently, a rise in real estate asset prices, mainly in large cities," warns the expert who reminds that real estate is not limited to residential. "Other segments such as commercial, professional, logistical, tourist real estate... are also carried by this wind of optimism."

Mernissi highlights the vast urban modernization program undertaken by the State in anticipation of upcoming sporting events, emphasizing that these major infrastructure projects benefit the real estate sector. "Morocco in 2025 is a country that is building on all fronts. Urban upgrading, major state projects, large-scale infrastructure programs... There is a mutual driving effect for the general benefit of the sector," he indicates. The expert also noted the renewed enthusiasm of Moroccans for the housing assistance program launched by the government since January 1, 2024. To date, "nearly 128,000 applications have been made through the Daamsakane platform and some 30,000 beneficiaries have been able to finalize the purchase," he informs.

Mernissi emphasizes the importance of meeting demand to ensure the effectiveness of this program. "The demand is there, now it’s about responding to it. And responding to it means making the requested product available," he develops, before adding: "Real estate professionals argue that profitability is not there and that the equation is almost impossible for products under 300,000 dirhams. This mortgages investment." The expert invites the authorities to "take appropriate measures to both respect the interests of the State and the will of real estate developers."
