Five million Moroccans live abroad, encompassing a diverse range of roles including executives, high-ranking or well-respected professionals, shopkeepers, teachers, workers, researchers, and artisans.[8] Their remittances and various investments back home, and they are invaluable contributors to both the immaterial and material wealth of Morocco.
