نجيب أقصبي: من يعيق التنمية في المغرب: الدولة أم النخبة؟

Najib Akesbi: Who is hindering development in Morocco: the state or the elite? This question overturns the discourse on "development models": Is the Moroccan economy's dysfunction rooted in state institutions, or in an economic elite that has no vested interest in changing the status quo? In this segment, Professor Najib Akesbi deconstructs two major bets upon which Morocco has based its choices for decades: the market economy and openness to globalization. His conclusion is that both have failed, and that the root cause runs deeper than any technical reform. From the "market economy" to the "rentier economy," and from the Governor of the Bank of Morocco's admission of the private sector's inability to invest, to the question everyone avoids: So what? What is the alternative? Akesbi leads us to his central thesis: that the primary reform is not economic but political, and that the "strategic" and "regulatory" state remains merely a slogan as long as it lacks mechanisms for monitoring and accountability. He then moves on to the enigma of growth: Why does an entire country's economy remain dependent on rainfall after forty years? Why does a sector representing no more than 12% of GDP control the fate of the entire economy? The answer goes beyond mere figures to the psychology of the Moroccan farmer and the collective knowledge lost in water management. This discussion doesn't offer ready-made solutions, but rather pinpoints the structural flaws and returns the question to its origin: Who benefits from maintaining the status quo? ⏱ Timeline: 00:00 Introduction: Development Between Choices and Stakes 02:00 The Market and Private Sector Gamble and Why We Lost It 05:00 “Rent-Seeking Economy” and the Governor of the Bank of Morocco’s Admission 07:30 And Then What?
