Government Announces Measures to Address Rising Prices and Market Stability

Rabat:Protecting citizens' purchasing power remains a top priority for the government, as highlighted in a recent statement by the Minister of Territorial Planning, Urbanism, Housing and City Policy, Samir Belfkih. Following a government cabinet meeting, Belfkih, also serving as the government's spokesperson, detailed several measures aimed at stabilizing market prices and supporting various sectors.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, an interministerial committee has been established to monitor price trends, ensuring the continuation of exceptional support for road transport operators. The Head of Government underscored the critical need to address the increasing costs of food and fuel, stressing the importance of maintaining market supplies and combating speculative and monopolistic practices.

In an effort to further stabilize the domestic market, El Mansouri announced a temporary suspension of new export permits for tomatoes, onions, and potatoes. This decision aligns with the government's commitment to protecting the domestic market while also safeguarding the interests of farmers and partners across the African continent. Additionally, there will be a daily monitoring of prices as the month of Ramadan approaches.
