Poverty rate in Morocco's rural areas is 15% according to WB, says HCPRabat - In its latest report on food security in the Arab countries, the World Bank (WB) has cited figures released by Morocco's High Planning Commission on the rate of poverty in Morocco, which put the rate in rural areas at 15%, High Commissioner for planning said.
The figures published on the basis of the 2007 survey on the household standard of living suggest that the rate of poverty in Morocco is 9% at national level, 15% in rural areas and 5% in urban areas, Ahmed Lahlimi told MAP. They also show that 68% of the needy live in Morocco's rural areas, which by no account means that the rate of poverty in rural areas is 68%, he said.
