Morocco improved its Doing Businness 2017 ranking of 7
places from 75th to 68th place. This result was largely
achieved thanks to the improved ranking in the "Cross-
Border Trade" indicator where Morocco was able to gain
39 points from 101st to 63rd place.
"Morocco made trading across borders easier by further
developing its single window system and thus reducing
border compliance time for importing. »
