In plain words
22.7% of GDP
What it is. This measure adds up the taxes collected by Morocco's central government and divides the total by the size of the economy. Because it is a share of GDP, it can be compared across years even as prices and output grow. Taxes collected by local authorities and non-tax income such as fees and dividends fall outside it.
Higher is better. A higher share is better because it gives the state more of its own money to pay for services and investment, and leaves less to be covered by borrowing. The latest figure is 22.7% of GDP for 2024, up from 20.7% of GDP a year earlier, a rise of 1.9 percentage points. It is the highest reading since 2015, the start of the window. The lowest in that span was 19.4% of GDP in 2015, so the figure now sits at the very top of its range.
Why it matters. At 22.7% of GDP, the Moroccan government collects more of national income in taxes than at any point since 2015. That gives the budget more room for schools, hospitals and public works without extra borrowing. Households and firms carry the cost of that rise through the taxes they pay. The next annual reading will show whether the higher level holds.
