GDP grew 2.8% year on year in Q3, according to recent data from the statistical office, speeding up from the 2.4% expansion seen in H1. Domestic demand growth picked up to 5.0% (H1: +4.3% yoy), while external trade continued to weigh on economic activity. Looking at individual sectors, industrial output grew more sharply, agricultural output shrank further, and services output expanded less quickly. Turning to Q4, the statistical office expects GDP growth to slow to 2.5% as industrial production expands more slowly and agricultural output continues to decline. In other news, the European Court of Justice ruled that EU agricultural and fishing agreements signed with Morocco in 2019 were invalid as the people of Western Sahara—a territory occupied by Morocco—had not given their consent. This may force the deals to be renegotiated, and could exclude exports from Western Sahara.
