Rabat — Moroccan households face mounting financial pressure, with very few able to set aside savings for the future, a new survey revealed.
The High Commission for Planning (HCP) released today findings from its household survey for the third quarter of 2025, showing that only 9.6% of families believe they can save money over the next 12 months.
In numbers, the survey data revealed that 90.4% of Moroccan households don’t expect any possibility of saving in the coming year from now.
The survey relies on a balance indicator to measure economic sentiment, which stood at minus 80.8 points in the third quarter. However, it showed a slight improvement from minus 82.6 points in the previous quarter.
However, compared to last year’s, the situation remains worse when the indicator reached minus 78.1 points.
Food prices drive household concerns
Regarding the source of Moroccan households’ concern, rising food costs continue to squeeze family budgets across the country. The HCP’s report indicated that 95.7% of households reported increases in food prices over the past 12 months.
It added that only 0.2% of families noticed any price decreases, thus pushing the balance indicator for past food price changes to reach minus 95.5 points.
Looking ahead, the data indicates Moroccan families will likely face the persistent situation.
Some 81.8% of households anticipate that food prices will continue climbing over the next 12 months, while only 0.4% expect prices to fall.
The balance indicator for future food price expectations reached minus 81.4 points in the third quarter.
The survey results paint a picture of households struggling with inflation and unable to build financial shields for emergencies or future needs.
With food prices showing no signs of easing, most Moroccan families continue to face difficult economic conditions.
