00:00Hello and welcome to the newspaper of the economic news of May 1.
00:12In Morocco, the number of passengers who passed via the airport of Tangier-Ibn Battuta recorded an increase of 21.91% at the end of September, compared to the same period of the previous year.
00:25This airport welcomed during the first 9 months of the year some 1.8 million passengers against 1.4 million travelers during the same period of the previous year.
00:36According to the statistics of the National Airport Office, for the month of September alone, the airport of Tangier recorded a 30.64% increase with 225,605 passengers welcomed.
00:50The airports of Morocco recorded a new record of 24.2 million passengers welcomed at the end of September last year, an increase of 19.66% compared to the same period a year earlier.
01:04Direction now the region of the Oriental.
01:07During the first 7 months of this year, the number of companies created rose to 3,246 according to the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property.
01:17These company creations are distributed among the moral people with 1,380 and the physical people with 1,866.
01:25The province of Nador is largely in the lead with 1,487 new companies, followed by Oujda with 895.
01:34By sector of activity, commerce takes over the part of Lyon with 47.18% of companies created, followed by winter services with 15.83% of public buildings and works, and real estate with 15.24% and transport with 6.6%.
01:54In international economic news, the growth of the Eurozone has been significantly higher than expected in the third quarter, with a GDP of 0.4% compared to the previous three months.
02:06And this thanks to the surprise resistance of Germany, which escaped a recession.
02:11According to the European Statistical Institute, the economic activity of the Eurozone has therefore progressed regularly this year.
02:18From January to March, gross domestic product had increased by 0.3%.
02:23For the whole of the European Union, growth has been a little less strong than in the Eurozone in the third quarter, at 0.3%, a rate unchanged compared to the previous two quarters.
02:35In the rest of Europe, more precisely in Spain, inflation slightly accelerated in October to reach 1.8% over a year, due in particular to the increase in fuel prices.
02:47According to a provisional estimate published by the National Institute of Statistics, this rate is higher than 0.3 points to that of September.
02:56However, it remains below the target of 2% set by the European Central Bank.
03:02The slight acceleration of October, which follows four months of consecutive slowdowns, can be explained by the increase in fuel prices, but also in any measure of electricity prices.
03:15Now let's move on to the UK economic news.
03:18The British Minister of Finance announced an increase in taxes of 40 billion pounds in its presentation of the first budget of the new Labour Government.
03:29Notably, a hole in public finances inherited from the previous Conservative government.
03:35The minister also announced that the Public Budgeting Agency had improved its growth forecasts for the British economy for the coming years,
03:45including an increase of 1.1% of gross domestic product this year, compared to 0.8% previously expected and 2% next year.
03:56We continue our newspaper in the United States, where the growth of gross domestic product slowed in the third quarter and showed less strong than expected,
04:05according to the preliminary estimate of the Department of Commerce six days before the US election.
04:11During the three months of July to September, the growth was 2.8% at a manual rate against 3% in the second quarter.
04:19The annualized rate, a measure favored by the United States, compares GDP to that of the previous quarter, then projects evolution over the entire year at this rate.
04:29By comparing it to the previous quarter, as most advanced economies do, growth is 0.7% comparable to that of the second quarter.
04:39This is the end of our edition of today. Excellent, follow the programs on our antenna.
