Morocco’s Ministry of Economy and Finance has published a macroeconomic framework report ahead of the 2027 finance bill, the last of the current government’s mandate, setting out early priorities spanning infrastructure, private investment, social protection, health and education, Aujourd’hui le Maroc reports.
The report commits to implementing royal directives around consolidating public investment, sustainable water resource management, modernising public administration, continuing sectoral strategies, and supporting business and private investment.
On infrastructure, the government plans to continue major road, rail, air and port projects, including expanding the national motorway network, which has reached 1,800 kilometres, through continued work on the Rabat-Casablanca continental highway and the Guercif-Nador motorway, alongside the Aïn Ouda-Oued Zem expressway and the road link connecting Nador West Med port to the national network. On rail, the government will pursue its 2030 railway investment program, including extending the high-speed line on the Kénitra-Marrakech axis over 430 kilometers, launching regional express rail networks in Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra and Marrakech-Safi, and building a rail station linking Casablanca’s Mohammed V Airport to the high-speed line. The “Airports 2030” strategy aims for 80 million passengers annually, with continued capacity upgrades at Mohammed V, Al Massira, Saïss, Menara and Ibn Battouta airports, alongside expanding Royal Air Maroc’s fleet to 200 aircraft by 2037 with more than 100 international and 46 domestic routes.
On private investment, the government will continue implementing the Investment Charter, alongside accelerated support for small and micro enterprises through simplified financing access, a new national credit-scoring system, and reforms to public procurement rules raising the annual threshold for purchase-order-based contracts from 500,000 to 800,000 dirhams and the simplified open tender threshold from 1 million to 1.5 million dirhams.
On the social state, 2027 will continue generalizing mandatory basic health insurance and direct social assistance, including a bill easing formal labor market access for households no longer eligible for direct aid, and reduced medicine costs expected to save policyholders roughly 866 million dirhams annually and Morocco’s basic health insurance system about 2 billion dirhams. On health, the government will open new university hospital centres in Laâyoune and Rabat by year’s end, continue building centres in Béni Mellal, Guelmim and Errachidia, launch territorial health groupings across five regions, accelerate hospital system digitalization, and work toward 45 health professionals per 10,000 residents by 2030.
