Key national statistics such as demographic and economic indicators (GDP, unemployment, population, etc). To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:
- GDP for the whole country updated at least quarterly
- Unemployment statistics updated at least monthly
- Population updated at least once a year
Data Location
https://www.hcp.ma/Comments
Unemployment rate is here, but no updates since last year (2014) https://www.hcp.ma/Taux-de-Chomage-selon-le-sexe_a256.html
The population is published here https://www.hcp.ma/Projections-de-la-population-totale-par-groupe-d-age-et-sexe-en-milliers-et-au-milieu-de-l-annee-1960-2050_a676.html
However it is mainly projections based on the results of the census of 2004 and 2009/2010. No traces of more recent census.
We found more updated version for the population on the Open Data portal in XLS format (for 2014) https://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/dataset/population-legale
We found GDP data here, but not up to date https://www.data.gov.ma/data/fr/dataset/comptes-nationaux-pib-en-volume-et-contribution-a-la-croissance
The question about licensing is tricky to answer: when it boils down to the HCP, the data and content it provides are property of the institution. The Open Data portal has an unclear status: each dataset here is individually licensed under the ODbL yet the website itself and all its content are copyrighted by the eGov unit (data.gov.ma has no indication whatsoever on its 'License' page: https://www.data.gov.ma/fr/licence). Thus, the copyright mention has priority and the data is considered non-open.
