Morocco Emergence and global development Fortitude to withstand crises In 15 years the Moroccan economy has become not only an emerging economy but a resilient economy. Visitors to any region or province in the Kingdom see evidence of ongoing projects. This, of course, is not by chance or a gift of nature. Morocco's economy, unlike that of neighbouring countries, is not a rentier economy. It has been necessary to innovate, take risks, etc. Led by its sovereign Mohammed VI, the initiator of ail the extensive schemes, of a policy of major projects which Keynes would not have disowned, of opening up to world markets and the African market in particular, Morocco has chosen the path to modernity. That modernity is now part of a global development, making human development a primary aim and sustainable development a priority. This should enable Morocco to export clean energy to Europe.
