00:21of your day.
00:22After having exposed the great lines of the 2025 financial OAS project in front of the
00:27Sovereign, the Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance lent herself to the same exercise
00:32yesterday in front of the two chambers of the parliament, we speak about it honestly.
00:39In addition to targeting the positions of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israeli army also continues
00:44its offensive in Gaza, where one of its strikes killed at least 73 people.
00:51In this edition, we will go to the United States, where the presidential election campaign
00:58is flat between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, almost all votes are lost.
01:08We will start this edition in the Kingdom, where the Minister of Economy and Finance,
01:14after having exposed the great lines of the 2025 financial OAS project in front of the
01:19Sovereign, lent herself to the same exercise in front of the two chambers of the parliament,
01:24where Nadia Feta Alavi presented yesterday the outlines of this project, declined in four
01:29priority axes.
01:32In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
01:39Reform, fiscal measures, taxation of profits, the great lines of the 2025 financial OAS project.
01:45The state budget project focuses on four main axes.
01:49The first concerns the strengthening of the social state, with as a priority the generalization
01:54of social protection and direct aid to about 4 million households.
01:58The text also focuses on the reform of the health and education system, while pursuing
02:03the reconstruction of the sinister zones by the earthquake of the House.
02:07The second axis aims to stimulate private and public investment, in particular via the
02:11investment charter and projects with clean energies.
02:14Water management in response to the needs of the country is also prioritized, as is the
02:19preparation for the World Cup 2030.
02:21The third pillar concerns structural reforms, including the modernization of justice and
02:27the digitization of the judicial administration.
02:30The sustainability of public finances is at the heart of the fourth axis, with measures
02:34to reduce the budget deficit and stabilize finances.
02:37The bill envisages a growth rate exceeding 4% and a controlled inflation for 2025.
02:44The government targets a growth rate of 4.6% in 2025.
02:49These forecasts are subject to several factors.
02:52First, inflation, which should be 2%.
02:55The external demand for phosphate and its derivatives, which should increase by 3.2%.
03:00An agricultural yield that is close to 70 million quintals and the price of a ton of
03:05butane, which would be around 500 dollars per ton.
03:12The preparation of this project takes place in a difficult international context, marked
03:17by the pursuit of geopolitical tensions and the accentuation of climate crises.
03:22In spite of this situation, Morocco has been able, under the clear guidance of His Majesty
03:28the King, to pursue economic and social reforms while preserving the sustainability of macroeconomic
03:34balances.
03:36This bill also focuses on four priorities, each acting as a lever to consolidate social
03:42cohesion, immunize economic sovereignty and bring together the necessary conditions for
03:48the development of future generations.
03:53The PLF 2025 plans to create 28,906 budget posts, distributed between the different ministries
03:59and other public institutions.
04:01The majority of these new posts are allocated to the Ministry of the Interior, which will
04:06benefit from 7,744 posts.
04:08The Ministry of Health and Social Protection will receive 6,500 posts, while the Ministry
04:14of Economy and Finance will receive 2,600 posts.
04:17In addition, the National Defense Administration will receive 5,792 posts, the Ministry of Higher
04:23Education, Scientific Research and Innovation will receive 1,759, and the General Delegation

04:39365 to the Ministry of National Education, Pre-School and Sports, and 350 to the Supreme
04:46Judiciary.
04:47The PLF also plans to create 500 budget posts under the authority of the Chief of Government,
04:52which will be able to distribute them between the different ministries and institutions.
04:56Among these, 200 posts will be allocated to people with disabilities.
05:00Finally, let us recall that the Government had planned to create 30,043 posts as part
05:05of the 2024 Finance Law.
13:54Thanks.

13:58Please wait for David.
13:59Yes, please.
14:17This operation is taking place in this context.
14:21In terms of costs, it is about 222 million francs.
14:25So it is living support, welfare, work and cash.
14:31This donation of a value of 222 million francs
14:34enters the framework of the project Kisile 6,
14:37of Catholic relief funded by USAID
14:40and which aims to come to aid in an urgent way
14:43to the population in need.
14:45In terms of response, we have food
14:52that is sold at 95 tons of rice,
14:57at 18 tons of potatoes,
15:00at 4,800 liters of oil.
15:04In addition to food and non-food,
15:06the 1,218 displaced households
15:08will receive an amount of 47,000 francs CFA,
15:11an oxygen supply in this difficult period.
15:14Rice and oil are currently very expensive on the market.
15:17These donations will therefore relieve us.
15:20We have also received soap,
15:22soap, cream and bed sheets.
15:25We are therefore happy and say thank you to the donors.
15:29The regional authorities have saluted this support
15:32of Catholic relief and through it
15:34the United States, a financial partner of the project.
15:38That's all for today.
