Chapter Six Public Expenditure, Economic Growth and Poverty in Morocco: Moving Towards a Multi-Level Analysis

چکیده
Morocco’s macroeconomic situation in the early 1980s was quite difficult for a variety of reasons including a high external debt and budget deficit. As a result of a Structural Adjustment Plan (SAP), the macroeconomic situation greatly improved. Moreover, social indicators also noticeably improved.
