According to the Moroccan newspaper “Hespress”, the total cumulative value of intra-regional trade during the first five months of this year reached $53.2 million, achieving a growth of 64% compared to 2023.
A report issued by the Abraham Accords Institute indicated that there is an upward trend in trade between Israel and Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, and Qatar.

This growth in trade exchange came after the signing of the “Abraham Peace” Accords in December 2020, which aimed to strengthen relations between Israel and several Arab countries, including a series of cooperation agreements in the fields of trade and investment.
