In the second half of its mandate, the executive intends to focus on boosting the investment dynamic and creating jobs, Head of Morocco's Government, Aziz Akhannouch, said on Thursday in Rabat.
In a speech at the opening of the Government Council, Akhannouch said that, in parallel with the continued consolidation of social state’s foundations, as desired by King Mohammed VI, the government will focus, in the second half of its mandate, on strengthening the investment dynamic and job creation by promoting an investment climate guaranteeing sustainable economic growth.
The aim is also to ensure a strategic balance between the social and economic dimensions, in line with the development vision advocated by His Majesty the King, he said.
“Major challenges lie ahead of us at the start of the new political year, requiring us to increase our efforts to implement the various public policies adopted by the government, and to step up the pace of work, while demonstrating seriousness and efficiency in implementing the various projects scheduled, in order to live up to the responsibility entrusted to us by His Majesty the King and earn the trust of Moroccans,” noted Akhannouch.
In this respect, the Head of Government emphasized the Royal High Directions contained in the Throne Speech, underlining that they represent “a compass for the government's action”, particularly with regard to the water issue management, which is of strategic importance. This implies, in the next stage, a continuous updating of the mechanisms of the national water policy and the acceleration of the various projects concerned, he noted.
In this respect, Akhannouch emphasized that the High Royal Directives offer a clear approach, in that the government intends, under the terms of the orientation note for the 2025 Finance Bill sent to the various ministerial departments at the beginning of the month, to pursue the implementation of all reform projects in all sectors with the necessary speed and efficiency, and to put the government's program into practice.
