NTM survey overview:
The NTM business survey in Morocco was conducted by ITC in collaboration with the Morocco Ministry of Industry, Trade and New Technologies (Department of External Trade). The survey was implemented by a local survey company, LMS-CSA Marketing et Sondages, between April 2010 to February 2011. A total of 800 companies from various sectors were contacted of which 43% said they were affected by burdensome regulations. Detailed face-to-face interviews with representatives of 250 affected companies were carried out to determine the exact nature and cause of the problem.
The results of the survey were validated by national stakeholders during the NTM stakeholder meeting held in Rabat on 29 February 2012. The issues discussed and recommendations formulated during the meeting were also incorporated in the final country report which is based on the data and testimonials of the companies collected during the survey.
The final report was published in May 2012.
