00:00Welcome to MEDIEN, right now, the newspaper of economic news.
00:12We start in Morocco, and according to the budgetary triennale 2025-2027 of the Ministry of Economy and Finance,
00:21economic growth should reach 4.6% in 2025, against 3.3% estimated for 2024.
00:30This dynamic is mainly based on a sharp increase in the added agricultural value of 11%
00:37and a rebound in non-agricultural activities of 3.7%.
00:41Economic hypotheses include an average price of Brent oil at $80 per barrel, a drop from 2024,
00:49and a shortfall in butane gas estimated at $500 per ton.
00:53On the agricultural level, a cereal production of 70 million quintals is envisaged,
00:59marking a return to normal climatic conditions.
01:02Foreign demand for Moroccan gold, phosphate and derivatives should progress by 3.2% in 2025,
01:09followed by a moderate rebound in the euro zone with 1.2%.
01:15This conjuncture should boost Moroccan exports, contributing to economic recovery.
01:22And still in Morocco, a total of 59,800 tons of apples were produced in 2023 in the Bniml Alkhnefra region,
01:32according to data from the Regional Office for Agricultural Valuation of CEDLA,
01:36despite the irregularity of the rainfall, which strongly disrupted the apple production line during the rainy season.
01:43This sector has managed to maintain stable and high-quality production,
01:47especially in the mountainous municipality of Aït Bougmez in Azilel,
01:50the largest apple production base at the regional level.
01:54Occupying an area of 2,990 hectares, the apple production line has managed to maintain its balance
02:01thanks in particular to the extension of the surface of this culture in mountainous areas
02:06and to the efforts made in the context of the Atlas Mountains Rural Development Project.
02:11According to the same source, the region has planted 238 hectares of apple trees,
02:16equipped with a juice production unit, apple vinegar and another photovoltaic energy refrigerator,
02:23in addition to the acquisition of four anti-fog generators for the protection of shepherds.
02:28Staying in Morocco, where the fishing industry has made a turnover of around 31 billion dirhams in 2023,
02:36with a volume of 847,000 tonnes, indicated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fishing.
02:43The exports of this strategic sector represent, according to the current figures,
02:487% of global exports and 39% of agri-food exports,
02:53the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fishing,
02:56during a communication meeting with the presidents of the federations and associations
03:00operating in the sector of the transformation, valorization and commercialization and marriage of sea products.

03:12mainly units of freezing and canning and semi-canning and other valorizing activities.
03:19Cameroon now.
03:21The European Union announced on Tuesday the grant of a loan of 96 million dollars to Cameroon.
03:27Over a period of three years, this sum aims to revitalize the country's essential infrastructures
03:33and to strengthen its attractiveness for foreign investors.
03:37This decision was made official during a meeting in Yaoundé between Cameroonian ministers
03:42and a representative of the European Union.
03:45After several years, Cameroon struggles to renovate its aging infrastructures
03:49in the fields of transport, energy and ports.
03:53However, this new loan is in strict condition.
03:56The ambassador of the European Union to Cameroon insisted on the need for a transparent management of the funds.
04:03And a word on cryptocurrencies now.
04:06Bitcoin crossed the $ 95,000 bar on Thursday for the first time.
04:11The most important cryptocurrency by capitalization has exceeded this threshold on Thursday around 1.24 a.m.
04:17reaching a new record at exactly $ 95,450.
04:23Bitcoin then moderated its earnings and exchanged at $ 94,463 around 1.30 a.m.

04:38After surpassing its last March record, the digital currency soared above $ 80,000 on November 10
04:45then $ 90,000 on November 13.
04:48The elected president also promised to drastically soften regulation on the digital currency sector
