A recently published official report shows that Moroccan imports totaled 101 billion Moroccan Dirhams (nine billion dollars) in the first 10 months of 2001, a 0.4 percent decrease compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, reported Al-Hayat. The decrease resulted from declining oil and wheat purchases by Rabat. The same report also showed that Moroccan exports totaled MD 66 billion (six billion dollars) in the first 10 months of 2001, a 0.75 percent increase compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. — (menareport.com)
