RABAT (Reuters) -Morocco's economy grew 4.8% in the first quarter this year, compared with 3% the same period last year, the national statistics agency HCP said.

The growth was driven by an improvement in farming and industrial activities, which grew 4.6% and 4.5% respectively, HCP said in a report.

Growth was also supported by an 8% increase in domestic demand in the first three months this year, from 4% the same period last year, offsetting a negative contribution of foreign trade to economic growth, it said.
