00:00Thank you for joining us on Media and welcome to this new edition around the economic news.
00:13Morocco is strengthening its role as a major player in the Spanish market.
00:17Indeed, Moroccan fruit and vegetable exports to Spain have recorded a 4% increase from the previous year,
00:24according to recent data from the Spanish Federation of Fruit and Vegetable Producers and Exporters.
00:30In total, more than 455,000 tons of Moroccan agricultural products were exported to Spain in 2024.
00:37This performance represents a turnover of nearly a billion euros.
00:41France remains the main supplier of vegetables in the Spanish market, with more than 1.1 million tons exported the previous year.
00:49French expeditions have recorded a 19% increase in volume and 16% increase in value,
00:55while the French land pump largely dominates this segment, representing 86% of French exports to Spain.
01:03Still in Spain, the total gross investment has increased by 2.1% in real terms in 2024 to reach 306.7 billion euros,
01:15thus reconnecting with the levels observed before the COVID-19 health crisis.
01:20According to a study by the BBBA Bank Foundation and the Institute for Economic Research in Valence,
01:26this dynamic has been supported mainly by public investment, which has increased from 5.9% to 34.8 billion euros.
01:36Infrastructure investment has increased by 34.7% since 2019, but remains below 17.6% at its level in 1995
01:48and 63% at its peak in 2009, representing only 5.3% of the total investment.
01:57The economic activity of the private sector in the eurozone has accelerated in March
02:02thanks to the recovery of the industry, according to the CPI-MIFLASH index published by S&P Global.
02:07The index, calculated on the basis of business surveys, rises to 50.4 against 50.2 in February,
02:14a level still close to stagnation but which has remained at the highest level for seven months.
02:20A figure above the 50 signifies an increase in activity, while a figure below reflects a contraction.
02:27For the only sector of the industry, the PIM index is back with growth for the first time since March 2023.
02:33The sector indicator has risen to 50.7 in the 20 countries sharing the single currency after 48.9 in February.
02:44Internationally, energy consumption in the world has always progressed more in 2024 than in the previous decade.
02:53According to the annual report of the International Energy Agency, the evolution of these demands was 2.2% in 2024,
03:01almost twice as much as the average of the previous ten years between 2013 and 2023.
03:07For the first time, the share of oil has fallen below 30%, 50 years after a peak at 46%.
03:15Electricity consumption has climbed by more than 4%, which represents 1,100 additional TWh,
03:22which is more than Japan's annual consumption.
03:25The International Energy Agency sees in this electric boom the consequence of an increased demand for cooling
03:32due to record temperatures, but also due to growing needs in the data centers industry,
03:38artificial intelligence and transportation electrification.
03:42Before closing our newspaper, know that the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD
03:48surpassed its American rival Tesla in 2024, with a record turnover above the symbolic $100 billion mark.
03:56The leading company in the Chinese electric vehicle market recorded a turnover of 777.1 billion yuan
04:05$ 67.2 billion last year, exceeding $ 97.7 billion announced by Tesla at the same time.
04:14This figure is an increase of 29% compared to 2023.
04:18This publication comes as BYD is under the spotlight after unveiling a new battery technology last Monday,
04:26allowing ultra-fast recharging.
04:28The Chinese company introduced a new charging system called Super e-Platform,
04:33allowing cars to recover up to 470 km of autonomy after being plugged in for only 5 minutes.
04:42They offer up to 1,000 kW of peak power, against only 500 kW for Tesla superchargers.
