Morocco’s strategic petroleum reserves are sufficient to cover domestic market needs for about 30 days, a senior official source told Hespress, as authorities closely monitor global energy volatility stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.
The Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development has been tracking international supply chains and price movements and stands ready to take “necessary measures” in response to geopolitical developments affecting the global oil market.
Authorities are also maintaining continuous oversight of inventory levels held by operators and coordinating with importers and distributors to preserve supply stability and avoid any potential shortages. Technical teams continue to monitor global energy trends and are prepared to implement proactive measures to shield the domestic market, the source said.
The government has urged fuel‑market actors to act responsibly, safeguard market stability and avoid practices that could undermine consumers’ purchasing power or disrupt economic balance.
The source told Hespress that stocks of diesel, gasoline and other refined products were at “comfortable levels,” ensuring stable supply to the domestic market “for roughly one month without disruption.” Relevant agencies are conducting daily monitoring, the source added.
Separately, Morocco’s finance minister told bFM TV that the government’s 2026 appropriation bill was drafted on the basis of an oil price of $65 per barrel, adding that financial cushions are in place to absorb potential price spikes linked to geopolitical tensions.
