Morocco's energy market is expected to remain regularly supplied until the end of 2026, according to Leila Benali, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development. The current stock of petroleum products covers a period of 40 to 60 days and is monitored daily to ensure continuity of supply. This was announced after a meeting of the ministerial commission, led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, which monitors the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the national economy.

The availability of multiple stocks allows for the reinforcement of national reserves of essential products, such as butane gas and diesel, which are crucial for the Moroccan economy and households. The ministerial commission ensures daily monitoring of the supply of various energy products, particularly petroleum products. This proactive approach aims to mitigate potential disruptions and ensure a stable energy supply.

Nadia Fettah, Minister of Economy and Finance, has assured that fluctuations in international fuel prices are being closely monitored. The government has mobilized necessary financial resources to support impacted sectors, such as transportation, to alleviate the effects of these pressures on professionals. These measures also aim to limit the potential impact on inflation, which has shown a relatively stable rate according to available data.

The government's measures are designed to send a reassuring message to transportation professionals, as the mobilization of financial resources will continue until the end of the year. This will help mitigate the effects of the current economic situation and support the sector. The minister emphasized the importance of continuing public policies to support affected sectors.

Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry and Trade, has stated that Morocco is capable of meeting its fuel needs and ensuring a regular supply to the national market. Several measures have been taken to limit the impact of international price increases on the Moroccan market. These measures aim to protect the purchasing power of citizens and limit the effects of fuel price increases on Moroccan households.

The ministerial commission, led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, meets regularly to assess the situation and take necessary measures in response to international developments. This ensures that Morocco is well-equipped to handle potential disruptions and maintain a stable energy supply.

The government's proactive approach and measures have helped maintain stability in the energy market. With current reserves covering 40-60 days, Morocco is well-positioned to meet its energy needs until the end of 2026. The country's energy supply is expected to remain regular, providing a stable foundation for the economy.
