RABAT, July 2 (Reuters) - Morocco's economy grew 4.8 percent year-on-year in the second quarter, the country's planning agency said, pushed largely by a 17.4 percent recovery in agricultural output helped by heavy rainfall after a severe drought last year.

Gross domestic product growth should slow slightly to 4.1 percent in the third quarter of 2017, compared with 1.3 percent a year earlier, the agency said, in figures released late on Saturday.
