For the month of April, trade between Morocco and Israel took a temporary dip relative to the same month in 2022–a 15.6% anomalous decrease relative to the first four months of 2023 overall–when that period is compared with last year.
For the January-April period, trade increased a whopping 150% over the corresponding duration in 2022, according to the Abraham Accords Peace Institute, which derived its data from the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics.
The month of April recorded a trade value of $3.8 million USD, while the four-month tally totaled $28.8 million USD.
The U.A.E., Jordan, Bahrain, and Egypt all recorded identical trends, with downward movement in April not enough to put much of a dent in the overall upward tendency when measured over those four months.
Interestingly, while over 50,000 people flew from Israel to Morocco during the first four months of 2023, only 1,400 Moroccan citizens flew to Israel, according to the article.
