The Moroccan government has announced its decision to continue providing direct and exceptional support to transport professionals, in light of the rising fuel prices. This move aims to mitigate the impact of the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the national economy. The decision was made during a meeting of the ministerial committee, led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, in Rabat.
The government seeks to maintain stable public transport prices and ensure the continuity of services provided to citizens without any increase in current tariffs. The committee emphasized the importance of supporting transport professionals, who are heavily affected by the fluctuations in fuel prices. This support is crucial to maintaining the stability of the transport sector and ensuring the smooth movement of goods and people.
According to the ministerial committee, the national market is well-supplied with essential products and agricultural goods, despite the current challenges. The committee reported that the country's strategic reserves of butane gas and diesel are sufficient to last between 40 and 60 days. This reserve provides a buffer against potential disruptions in the global supply chain.
The government has put in place an electronic platform, mouakaba.transport.gov.ma, where transport professionals can submit applications for support. This platform allows for the electronic tracking of files, similar to previous rounds of support. The move aims to streamline the application process and ensure that support reaches those who need it most.
The decision to continue support for transport professionals comes as the government seeks to balance the need to maintain economic stability with the challenges posed by rising fuel prices. The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have had a significant impact on global energy markets, leading to increased fuel prices.
The ministerial committee's meeting also reviewed the current situation regarding the supply of essential goods and products. The committee confirmed that the national market is well-supplied, and that the government's strategic reserves are at satisfactory levels. This stability is crucial to maintaining the purchasing power of Moroccan citizens.
Transport professionals who are eligible for support can now submit their applications through the designated electronic platform. The government has urged those affected by the rising fuel prices to take advantage of this support, which aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens they face.
