Data quality and sources
The curves for Morocco are built from the World Inequality Database’s 127-percentile estimates (2026 update), which combine tax records, surveys and national accounts; where a country has few direct sources, WID fills gaps from similar countries. The score shows how much direct national data stands behind the estimates, from 1 (strong direct national sources) to 5 (mainly imputed). The notes describe the national sources we have reviewed.
| Measure | Score | National data reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Net worth | 5 | No direct Moroccan net-worth distribution has been imported; wealth is donor/proxy based. |
| Income | 3 | Morocco’s HCP provides official household median/mean and selected distribution information, but few direct points are imported and most of the curve is modelled. |

The advanced tool also offers national source tracks for Morocco based on official statistics (Advanced options → Comparison basis). They use their own definitions and are not added to the global total.
Amounts are converted at fixed exchange rates of 2026-10-09; they do not adjust for purchasing power. Thresholds in the extreme top are modelled and uncertain.
