Summary

Morocco is a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The country has been a key Western ally in its fight against Islamist terrorism. Morocco is enhancing its military capabilities in response to the recent wave of unrest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The prime factor stimulating the country’s defense expenditure is its ongoing arms race with adjoining Algeria, which receives a steady supply of weapons from Russia.

Over the forecast period, the increased threat of terrorism from internal and external terrorist groups and the ongoing modernization of its armed forces are the key factors expected to drive military expenditure. The country also faces insurgency in the Western Sahara region, where the local insurgent outfit Polisario Front is engaged in a violent struggle with the Moroccan regime for territory. The threat posed by the prospect of prolonged insurgency within the Western Sahara region makes it imperative for Morocco to allocate substantial expenditure to counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency efforts.
