Morocco: sharp increase in the number of French retirees

According to the General Population and Housing Census (RGPH), the number of foreigners officially established in Morocco has increased significantly, notably thanks to the influx of French retirees.

The number of foreigners in Morocco now stands at 148,152 people, a spectacular increase of 71.86% compared to 2014. Several reasons explain this sharp increase. First, the regularization of many African migrants, particularly sub-Saharan, between 2014 and 2017.
