The World Bank Chief Economist for the Middle East and North Africa Region, Mustapha Kamel Nabli, said in Washington that the economic growth rate in Morocco, which currently stands at 4% per year, and the structural reforms carried out by the country, are 'insufficient’ in order to create new job opportunities.

Yabiladi reports that Nabli also explained that in order for Morocco to be able to counter the problem of unemployment, the kingdom needs a growth rate of 6 or 7%, while ‘forwarding and deepening’ its reforms program and encouraging more private investments.
