Head of Govt. Calls for Increasing Mobilization to Boost National Economy

Head of Government, Saad Dine El Otmani, called, Friday in Rabat, for increasing the mobilization to achieve economic recovery and social development for a better Morocco.

“The collective successes, which continue with the national immunization campaign, cannot mask the challenges that the national economy and a good number of businesses continue to face, especially in the most affected sectors,” El Otmani said during a working session with chairman of the Moroccan Employers’ Body (CGEM), Chakib Alj, held within the framework of the joint CGEM-Government working mechanism, which was adopted in 2012 and updated in 2020.

Also, these achievements cannot hide the difficulty of the social situation for some categories of citizens, “which requires us, more mobilization and sacrifice, with a strong patriotic spirit, to achieve economic recovery and social development for a better Morocco with an inclusive and sustainable growth,” he stressed.

The Head of Government also said that this meeting took place in exceptional conditions marked by the spread of the pandemic of the new coronavirus (covid-19) and after the last meeting of the Steering Committee of the said joint working mechanism, held on March 06, 2020 and during which both parties had taken important decisions that have played a fundamental role in the resistance phase in the face of the repercussions of covid-19. In particular, he said, the creation of the Economic Monitoring Committee (CVE).

He also recalled the technical meeting held on September 10, 2020 in Rabat and which was an opportunity to agree on the need to prioritize, during this stage, the quick-wins, on which joint thematic committees created between the ministerial departments, adding  that the CGEM is working to formulate practical and achievable proposals on the short and medium term.

In addition, El Otmani welcomed the mobilization of all the forces of the Kingdom, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, to cope with the crisis of covid-19 and its negative effects, which allowed Morocco, through the adoption of a series of proactive measures and thanks to the positive dynamic that prevailed before the crisis, to avoid the worst.
