Morocco’s new offshoring offer targets 130,000 jobs by 2030
MARRAKECH, MOROCCO — Morocco has launched a comprehensive new framework to strengthen its position as a global hub for digital and outsourced services, according to a report from Morocco Global News.
The government published a detailed circular outlining the operational structure of the renewed “Morocco Offshoring Offer,” marking a major step in executing the Digital Morocco 2030 strategy launched last September.
The initiative, which takes retroactive effect from July 1, 2025, targets ambitious growth in employment and revenue.
According to the government, it seeks to create 130,000 additional stable direct jobs, with 50,000 positions expected by 2026, while generating MAD 40 billion (US$4 billion) in revenue, including MAD 25 billion (US$2.5 billion) projected for 2026.
Key offshoring sectors and P2I zones in Morocco
The circular defines offshoring as the relocation of certain business activities or processes to the Kingdom of Morocco, given the availability of qualified human resources and competitive costs covering five key sectors: Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO), and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO).
To support these activities, the government has established integrated industrial platforms dedicated to offshoring (P2I Offshoring).
These zones, located near major urban centers, offer shared services such as telecommunications, transportation, catering, maintenance, and financial services, along with flexible real estate and single administrative windows.
Installation requests are processed within five working days or 25 days when requiring Technical Offshoring Committee review, streamlining the business setup process.
Tax incentives, jobs targets, and offshoring governance
Morocco has introduced incentives valid until 2030, including income tax caps of 20% in main P2I platforms, reduced rates of 10% in secondary zones, and corporate tax support with the state covering 56% of the standard rate.
Employment and training primes are also offered at 17% of annual gross taxable income per new stable job and 3.5% per recruit for five years, according to the circular.
Oversight will be managed by a Steering Committee, chaired by the Head of Government, and a Technical Offshoring Committee, led by the Digital Transition Authority, which, together, will evaluate and guide incentive implementation.
Morocco’s renewed offshoring framework leverages the country’s geographic location, skilled workforce, and digital infrastructure to attract international players in the outsourced services sector.
The measures will significantly enhance Morocco’s competitiveness in the global outsourcing market, not only by accelerating digital growth but also by fostering skill development and technological innovation.
By combining fiscal incentives with streamlined operational support, Morocco positions itself as a sustainable and attractive offshoring destination for years to come.
