The Moroccan government has announced its decision to continue providing direct and exceptional support to professionals in the transport of goods and people sector. This move aims to mitigate the impact of rising hydrocarbon prices on the national economy. The decision was made during a meeting of the ministerial commission, led by outgoing Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, which was held in Rabat on September 30.
The commission, responsible for monitoring the repercussions of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the national economy, decided to maintain the current level of support to ensure the regularity of supplies to markets and the continuity of public transport services at the current tariff, without any increase for citizens. This decision is crucial in maintaining the stability of the transport sector and preventing potential price hikes.
The commission also assessed the availability of energy stocks and the continued supply of the national market with agricultural products and basic goods under normal conditions. The meeting highlighted the importance of regular supplies to the national market, despite geopolitical tensions and pressure on the global energy market. Morocco's strategic stock of reserve in butane gas and diesel covers between 40 and 60 days.
The government has put in place an electronic platform, https://mouakaba.transport.gov.ma, where professionals in the transport sector can submit requests for support and track their applications electronically. This move aims to simplify the process and make it more efficient for transport professionals to access the support they need.
The decision to continue support for the transport sector is a significant move by the Moroccan government to mitigate the impact of rising hydrocarbon prices on the national economy. The transport sector plays a vital role in the country's economy, and the government's support will help maintain the stability of the sector.
The ministerial commission's decision is also a reflection of the government's commitment to ensuring the well-being of citizens by maintaining the current tariff for public transport services. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of Moroccans, who will not have to bear the brunt of rising hydrocarbon prices.
The Moroccan government's decision to continue support for the transport sector demonstrates its proactive approach to addressing the challenges posed by geopolitical tensions and rising hydrocarbon prices.
