Industrialists generally expect an increase in production in the next three months, according to the results of the Bank al-Magrhibs’s economic survey last February. However, every fourth company expresses uncertainties in relation to its development.
In detail, “chemistry and parachimon” and in “Mechanical and Metallurgy” are expected, while the “Agrifood” and “Textile and Leather” leather “sectors should experience stagnation. With regard to sales, an increase is expected in all branches with the exception of “textiles and leather”, in which a drop is expected.
The economic investigation by Bank al-MaghriB in February also underlines a production stagnation and an increase in sales. Under these conditions, the capacity usage rate (TUC) would have stabilized at 78%.
