📊 Global Terrorism Index 2026 – Key Comparison
| Country | GTI Score (2026) | Terrorism Impact |

| Sahel Region | High | High risk |
A Perfect Score Reflecting Zero Impact
According to the Institute for Economics & Peace, Morocco recorded zero terrorist incidents, casualties, or economic damage, placing it among the most secure nations globally.
Why Morocco Stands Out Globally
Morocco’s ranking is not accidental. It reflects years of investment in security, intelligence coordination, and international cooperation.
- ✔️ Strong intelligence and prevention strategy
- ✔️ More than 200 extremist cells dismantled since 2002
- ✔️ Continuous monitoring of digital threats
- ✔️ Stable political and social environment
A Safe Haven in a Changing Region
While North Africa and the Sahel face growing instability, Morocco remains a pillar of stability. The country has maintained a consistent security trajectory despite regional tensions.
📉 Regional Trend: Decline in Attacks
The report highlights a positive trend across the Middle East and North Africa:
- ⬇️ 56% decrease in terrorist attacks
- ⬇️ 81% decrease in fatalities
However, the Sahel has now become the global epicenter of terrorism, reinforcing Morocco’s strategic importance as a safe destination.
Impact on Tourism and Investment
Security plays a major role in travel decisions. Morocco’s top ranking strengthens its appeal for tourists, investors, and international businesses.
With its strong safety record, modern infrastructure, and strategic location, Morocco continues to position itself as one of the most reliable destinations in Africa and beyond.
