The fifth generation of telecommunications in Morocco is expected to add economic opportunities from $ 4 to $ 6 billion at the end of the current decade, while telecommunications companies in the kingdom are preparing to start the service before the end of the year. “The launch of the fifth generation starting next November will enter the Moroccan telecommunications sector for a radical transformation phase in collaboration with the organization of the African Nations Cup,” according to a Memorandum of the BMCE Capital Global Research, the third largest bank in the kingdom. Last July, Morocco sold licenses for the exploitation of the fifth generation networks of the three businesses operating in the country for $ 2.1 billion Dirhams ($ 231 million). The companies, which are “Moroccan Etisalat”, “Enoye” and “Orange”, promised to implement investments in this sector with about 80 billion dirhams until 2035. 85% to 85% is the country’s hosting of the 2030 World Cup.

The fifth generation represents 2% of GDP, the researchers, Lamia Jabbour and Donia Filali, wrote in the memo that the expected economic opportunities of the fifth generation services will represent 1.5 to 2% of GDP at the end of the current decade.

Last year, the sector earned an income of approximately 36 billion dirhams, an annual increase of 3.9%, and is expected to increase by 27% to 46 billion dirhams in 2030. The three companies share approximately equal market shares. The two researchers said that “the fifth generation is not just a new technology, but that the service will form a real economic crane, especially in the high -value sectors such as Smart Industry, Digital Health, Fine Agriculture and Smart Cities. It is also expected to create new opportunities for startups, local providers and investors.” The Telecommunications sector in Morocco is a challenge to maximize the benefits of the fifth generation, despite economic opportunities, which can hinder the expected transformation with the entry of the fifth generation.
