Government spokesman Mustapha Baitas confirmed that exports of handicrafts and traditional Moroccan goods witnessed an improvement during the recent period.
Baitas said, at the press briefing that followed the weekly government council held on Thursday in Rabat, that for the first time, at the end of December, exports will exceed one billion Moroccan dirhams.
The minister stressed that this growth is due to the volume of demand for traditional industry products of the country.
The official also pointed to the considerable improvement in Morocco’s tourism revenues in recent months.
“Tourism revenues improved after the opening of the borders compared to 2019, when they doubled by 120%,” said Baitas.
The sector will be the subject of a new action plan that will carry a set of novelties, aiming to reconsider promotional campaigns, added Baitas.
On the eve of the new year, the Minister Delegate additionally confirmed that the government will celebrate the upcoming Amazigh year.
In response to a question about the demands of celebrating this cultural event, Baitas assured that the executive is also concerned with the development and establishment of the Amazigh language and culture.
He noted that the government allocated MAD 200 million in the 2022 Finance bill for this purpose, and raised the budget to MAD 300 million for 2023, to officialize the language and promote its use.
