Rabat – The number of Moroccans residing in Spain with legal status amounted to 864, 500 in 2019, the National Institute of Statistics (INE) reported on April 21, 2020.

Maghreb Arab press (MAP) quoted new statistics, showing a slight increase in the number of Moroccans with social security.

The state news agency said 268,564 Moroccans were enrolled in the Spanish social security system at the end of March this year.

As of January 1 of this year, Spain had 47,431,256, up 405,048 people from January 1, 2019. The increase gives Spain the highest number of inhabitants in the country’s history.

Spain, according to the statistics, “crossed the 47 million population mark for the first time in the first half of 2019.”

The population increase is thanks to a 386,320 rise in the number of foreign nationals legally established in the country, or “7.7% more compared to a year earlier.”

The number of Moroccans in Spain continues to increase significantly.

According to data dating back to July 1, 2019, INE estimated the number of Moroccans currently living in Spain at 734,402. The statistics date back to July 1, 2019.

The statistics show that Moroccans represent around 1.56% of the total population in Spain.

INE’s July 1 data said that between January and July 2019, 34,885 Moroccans emigrated to Spain, while about 9,396 Moroccans left.

Moroccans also top the list of foreign nationals who acquired  citizenship from EU member states in 2018.

Data released by Eurostat on March 31 shows that 67,200 Moroccans became citizens of EU countries in 2018, representing 10% of all foreign nationals who acquired EU citizenship that year.

A total of 672,339 foreign nationals acquired citizenship in EU countries in 2018, representing a slight decrease of 4% compared to the previous year.
