Morocco's GDP to post 7.2 percent growth this year

Morocco's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will post a 7.2 percent growth in 2001 thanks mainly to the increase in agriculture GDP, the official statistics department announced.

The Moroccan economy recorded a quasi-stagnation in 2000 with a slight growth of 0.3 percent of the GDP, mainly due to the severe drought that hit the country.
