Morocco’s Head of Government, Fatima Zahra Mansouri, presented the country’s five-year government program to a joint plenary session of Parliament on Monday. According to Hespress English, the program outlines a strategy to combat market monopolies and exploitative intermediaries while expanding social support mechanisms. Mansouri stated that the administration would work with the Competition Council to create specific tools for addressing anti-competitive behavior and investigating collusion in tendering processes.
A central part of the economic strategy involves leveraging public contracts to boost local output. Hespress English reported that firms winning state deals must direct 30% of the total contract amount to domestic small and medium-sized businesses. To tackle rising living costs, the state will provide automatic financial aid to qualifying families. This aid will offset monthly electricity charges up to MAD 100 for a main home, removing the need for applicants to file paperwork or travel to administrative offices.
Government spokesperson Samir Belfqih, the minister of national territorial planning, offered further insight in a separate statement to Hespress English. Belfqih emphasized that the agenda aims to ensure no citizen is left behind, prioritizing youth, rural populations, and vulnerable households. He noted the plan includes a phased overhaul of personal income tax to boost take-home pay and promote formal job creation. Belfqih also highlighted the goal of cutting out middlemen between producers and buyers to improve market conditions.
The agenda also covers education and social welfare. Belfqih stated the state aims to resolve the issue of 300,000 annual school leavers by 2031. The target is for 80% of learners to gain essential skills, improving upon current educational metrics. Additionally, the plan includes steps to shield women and children, protect disabled rights, and reinforce constitutional bodies handling human rights and equality.
On territorial matters, Mansouri reaffirmed the commitment to safeguarding Moroccan sovereignty and promoting the autonomy proposal for the southern regions. She connected this stance to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, adopted in October 2025. The agenda also allocates MAD 2 billion to a dedicated fund for the Amazigh language, overseen by a standing ministerial committee. These initiatives seek to build on past successes while meeting the expectations of diverse citizen groups.
