Abstract
Attracting
foreign
direct
investment
(FDI)
is
clearly
on
top
of the
agendas
of
most
countries
.
All
countries
find
it
more
difficult
to
stay
competitive
without
FDI
,
which
sustains
growth
:
financial
capital
,
management
skills
,
technology
,
access
to
export
markets
, and
therefore
enhance
country's
competitiveness
. That
is
nationally
, but what
can
we
say
about
regional
policies
aiming
to
promote
local
development
through
FDI
flows
?
Although
Morocco
has
16
regions
,
it
is
in
practice
divided
into "
two
Moroccos
": The
Casablanca-Tangier
axis
or
‘‘Rich
Morocco
'
(North-West)
and the
marginalized
territories
or
‘‘Poor
Morocco
'
(South
/
East
/
Middle)
. As would be
expected
,
most
of the
FDI
inflows
are
located
in the
Casablanca-Tangier
axis
,
which
receives
more
than
2/3
of
all
assets
of
foreign
companies
.
Inland
provinces
suffer
from a
lack
of
FDI
because
of the
difficulties
related
to
absence
of
appropriate
infrastructures
and
qualified
human
resources
. In
addition
, as
labor
has
become
gradually
more
mobile
,
skilled
labor
has
shifted
from these
areas
to the
more
prosperous
zones
around
Casablanca
. This
study
aims
to
understand
why
some
Moroccan
regions
are
preferred
and
more
attractive
for
FDI
when
others
,
neglected
,
lack
the
opportunity
of
development
through
FDI
flows
.
After
a
detailed
overview
of the
current
situation
of
FDI
in
Morocco
and
trends
behind
their
location
choice
, this
thesis
will
discuss
the
role
of
FDI
in
regional
development
emphasizing
the
need
of a
balanced
and
oriented
regional
development
policy
.
It
will also
attempt
to
draw
some
recommendations
that
may
be
relevant
to
Morocco
and
other
countries
facing
similar
challenges
.
