Morocco is emerging as a critical hub in China\u2019s green industrial strategy<\/strong> as the Iran war reshapes supply chains and energy security calculations, according to new research<\/a> by Washington-based Stimson Centre. The report flags continued vulnerabilities \u2014 Morocco\u2019s dependence on imported hydrocarbons and outdated grid infrastructure \u2014 despite ambitious decarbonization goals and rising foreign capital. <\/p>\n

A convergence of ambitions:<\/strong> Since joining the Belt and Road Initiative in 2017, Morocco has drawn growing Chinese capital into renewables, battery production, and EV components. <\/p>\n

The broader industrial pull: Chinese investment isn\u2019t limited to green sectors.<\/strong> Medical manufacturer Jiangsu Aishelun broke ground<\/a> last week on its first African plant at Mohammed VI Tanger Tech City \u2014 near the Tanger Med port complex \u2014 and is investing an additional EUR 15 mn in its Moroccan subsidiary to reach EUR 20 mn. The Tanger Tech City has become a focal point for inbound industrial investment. <\/p>\n

SOUND SMART- What\u2019s China doing in Morocco, anyway? <\/strong>A bunch of stuff. For starters, building plants there would allow Chinese firms to export to the EU under the bloc\u2019s trade agreement with Morocco, sidestepping Brussels\u2019 tariffs on made-in-China EVs. Morocco is already a key hub for automotive manufacturers ranging from Renault to Stellantis. Then there are batteries: <\/strong>Morocco sites on world-class phosphate reserves, which are key for battery production. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>Chinese companies are following the same playbook in Egypt<\/a>, as we\u2019ve previously noted, piling into manufacturing of everything from white goods and textiles to a wind turbine factory<\/a> and a USD 2 bn carbon-neutral textile complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
