03:11The Symposium on Financial Stability organized by Bancal Maghreb and other Moroccan institutions
03:17takes place in Rabat on November 26 and 27.
03:21It addresses the challenges of financial stability in Africa in the face of geoeconomic uncertainties.
03:27More details with Saloua El Khaliloui and Youssef Ouhamou.
03:32The story is from Al-Abinani.
03:35It is Tuesday and Wednesday.
03:37Experts and regulators gather here in Rabat to address emerging challenges
03:41threatening the balance of African financial systems.
03:44This event explores the impacts of climate change, geopolitical tensions
03:49and technological transformations on economic resilience.
03:53This meeting aims to discuss financial stability and international and regional risks.
04:06A hundred financial actors from the African continent have participated.
04:10Of course, the Moroccan banking and financial sector has been represented.
04:14And we have discussed the global political-economic conjuncture.
04:23Abdel Latif Jouahri also highlighted the importance of increased cooperation
04:27between African regulators to deal with complex challenges
04:31such as the consequences of the pandemic and the increase in debt in Africa.
04:35Bancal Maghreb's Wally also confirmed that the crypto-asset framework law project
04:40is currently being adopted.
04:46As we all know, financial stability interests everyone.
04:50The added value of this conference was to present the threats and risks of financial stability
04:55and how to deal with them by stabilizing the financial system.
05:00We annually review the risks and trends on the global insurance market.
05:06I will present the results of this annual review in 2024,
05:10which will serve as a context for today's discussions,
05:14which I look forward to participating in.
05:16I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Moroccan authority,
05:20which has played an essential role in contributing to this surveillance exercise,
05:27and in particular in bringing the perspective.
05:29The participants also focused on the importance of adopting
05:33adapted policies in various African economic contexts,
05:36while highlighting the crucial role of the African Continental Free Trade Zone
05:41to strengthen economic resilience.
05:44The symposium continues until Wednesday
05:47with discussions on sustainable finance and cybersecurity,
05:51emphasizing the urgency of concerted action
05:54in the face of geoeconomic and climate challenges.
05:58At this symposium, the governor of the Central Bank, Abdelhatif Zouhari,
06:03announced that a bill is being adopted in Morocco to regulate cryptocurrencies.
06:10And to find out more, ladies and gentlemen, on this site,
06:12we meet live from Rabat, Bardre Belhage,
06:15blockchain and cryptocurrency expert.
06:18Good evening and thank you for responding to our invitation.
06:21Thank you for the invitation.
06:24So, the cryptocurrency market has broken records since Donald Trump's re-election.
06:29Is it essential today in Morocco to regulate and even legalize cryptocurrencies?
06:36Yes, absolutely.
06:38Regulation is necessary, not just for the launch of the course.
06:42The most important thing is the volume of exchanges based on cryptocurrencies
06:47that is important in Morocco, which reached last year and the beginning of this year
06:5213, almost 13 billion dollars.
06:55Which is huge.
06:57And so, of course, this volume has made the Central Bank
07:02and the authorities face a phenomenon that is growing and important.
07:07As you mentioned, with the arrival of Trump
07:10and with this drive that cryptocurrencies are experiencing and knowing,
07:16it will of course increase this scale and this Moroccan adoption.
07:20If, with a ban, we are on 13 billion dollars
07:24and we are classified internationally as the 27th crypto nation,
07:28I believe that regulation must of course protect the consumer
07:33by offering it in a regulatory operating mode
07:37instead of banning it and creating a black market
07:42that risks users, whether they are investors or others.
07:48And even if today the use of this virtual currency is forbidden in Morocco,
07:53the kingdom ranks among the first users in Africa.
07:56How do you explain this drive?
08:00So, of course, we already explain it by the composition and nature of the Moroccan population.
08:06It is a young population.
08:08And so we know that young people are very familiar with the technology.
08:12So they can quickly and easily use a technology.
08:16We know that Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency technology.
08:19Cryptocurrencies are technologies that allow the transfer of value.
08:23We also have the problem of banking.
08:25So these young people are generally, I will say, marginalized by the banking system.
08:31And so they find in Bitcoin a solution to join,
08:35a financial solution to join the financial world,
08:38either to pay locally, or to pay internationally,
08:41or to receive payments on an international scale.
08:43We know that a lot of young people in Morocco have invested in e-commerce as a business.
08:51And so for them, Bitcoin is already a very accessible means,
08:55which is easy to use, which is cheaper,
08:58which is, of course, compared to the banking system, to the classic payment system.
09:02And so all these attributes make Bitcoin attract them.
09:06In addition, of course, to the investment aspect.
09:11Because Bitcoin is still an important investment vector.
09:14We have seen that courses have doubled in a very short period of time.
09:20And so the youth sees that technology is just getting started,
09:24that Bitcoin is the means of payment for today and tomorrow.
09:28And so I reiterate that the young aspect of our population is really the number one vector.
09:35Of course, with other factors, the infrastructure, which is still good, etc.
09:40But it is youth that is growing in the adoption of Bitcoin.
09:44Knowing that Bitcoin, even if it is forbidden, even if there is no marketing,
09:47even if there is no entity behind it,
09:51people adhere to it because they have problems.
09:54And so Bitcoin helps them.
09:56As I said, either the cost, or the non-convertibility of the diagram, etc.
10:00So it's a solution to a lot of problems that our youth is suffering from.
10:04And in this same dynamic, once the use of cryptocurrencies is regulated,
10:08how will the Moroccans be able to buy virtual currency,
10:11knowing that there is also a currency limit and that the currency is limited?
10:18So that's a very good question.
10:20Because the regulation must be exhaustive,
10:23which must of course cover all aspects or the entire value chain in some way.
10:29So if we regulate the crypto,
10:32it will give birth to operators that will join the local market.
10:36We always say that regulation will allow the creation of a local ecosystem.
10:42So we can easily have international players who will join the Moroccan market,
10:47who will offer this service with the local currency.
10:50So we can tomorrow, if we have a regulation,
10:53give licenses for exchange markets that will operate in Morocco
10:57and that will sell crypto against the diagram.
11:00So it is quite possible.
11:02But we still need this master piece, which is regulation.
11:06Without it, we cannot create an ecosystem.
11:09We have missed the opportunity from 2017 to 2024.
11:13We can still catch up.
11:15But what I want is that Banque Magrib must still give a regulation
11:19that will authorize use, but also that will allow the creation of a complete ecosystem
11:24that protects the consumer,
11:27but also that will not let him miss such an opportunity.
11:33Thank you very much for these insights.
11:36I remind you that you are an expert in blockchain and also cryptocurrency.
11:42The news is also the decision that has just fallen.
11:45Israel accepts a ceasefire with the Lebanese Hezbollah.
11:49An announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
11:52who said that his security cabinet would adopt in the evening
11:56a ceasefire in the war with Hezbollah.
11:59However, he warned that his country would respond.
12:02If Hezbollah violates the truce and preserves a total freedom of action in Lebanon,
12:07this truce should come into force.
12:14Still in the Middle East conflict,
12:16Tony Blinken estimates this Tuesday that such a ceasefire
12:20should put an end to the conflict in Gaza.
12:23We are not there yet,
12:26but I believe that we are in the final phase,
12:29said the US Secretary of State at a press conference
12:33at the end of a meeting with his G7 counterparts near Rome.
12:44In Gaza, 11 Palestinian civilians were killed in new Israeli strikes
12:49In this beginning of winter,
12:51thousands of displaced people are trying with derisory means to protect themselves from the rain.
12:56Palestinian authorities have reported 44,249 deaths
13:01and 104,746 wounded in the Palestinian enclave since the beginning of the war.
13:06At least 14 people have been killed in the last 24 hours.
13:11In the direction of the Gaza Strip,
13:15where half a million people are in danger in areas affected by floods,
13:20the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees
13:24has stated that the drop in temperatures will have an impact on thousands of people
13:29already suffering from malnutrition.
13:31Details are with Oceima Fikri.
13:33In Gaza, the first rains of the winter season
13:38are synonymous with additional suffering.
13:41This alert from UNRWA intervenes
13:43while several aid organizations fear an aggravation of the humanitarian situation
13:48with the cold and rainy weather.
13:50Thousands of internally displaced people
13:52are currently living in tents not far from the coast.
13:55The situation will only worsen with each drop of rain,
13:58each bomb and each strike.
14:01We have been stuck in the water for three days.
14:04The sea water reached the tents where we were sleeping.
14:07Where are we going now?
14:08The rain is pouring.
14:09We have taken showers at our neighbors'.
14:11Come and see how the water has entered inside.
14:14We have a baby.
14:15He was born eight days ago.
14:17Look at our blankets.
14:18They are all soaked.
14:20Look at our blankets.
14:22They are all wet.
14:24We don't know where to go.
14:26We don't have money.
14:27We don't know where to go.
14:29We don't have money to buy tents.
14:31If we had money, we wouldn't ask for help.
14:33But there is no money for tents.
14:35We don't even have enough to buy a car to transport our belongings.
14:38Nobody does anything and doesn't help us.
14:40Since last night, the whole place is submerged.
14:43The whole world should come and help us,
14:45but we haven't seen anyone.
14:47What are they waiting for?
14:49In Gaza, the rainiest season
14:51extends from the end of October to the beginning of April
14:54with a peak of precipitation in January
14:57where it rains on average between 30 and 40 mm per month.
15:00A few days ago, hundreds of tents were flooded
15:03in Adir al-Balakh, Khan Younes and Rafah.
15:06Several others on the seashore have disappeared in the waves
15:09according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
15:16In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Kiev announced today
15:19that it was the target during the night of a Russian attack
15:22with a record number of 188 combat drones
15:25that damaged residential buildings
15:28and essential infrastructures,
15:31according to the Ukrainian Air Force,
15:34which refers to sites of essential infrastructures that were hit.
15:41Still in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict,
15:44NATO ambassadors reaffirmed their support for Kiev
15:47after the firing of an experimental Russian missile on Ukrainian soil.
15:50An attack denounced as an attempt to intimidate,
15:54according to the Alliance's statement,
15:57this offensive is considered as another attempt by Russia
16:00to terrorize the civilian population in Ukraine
16:03and intimidate those who support Ukraine in its war against Russia.
16:06It will not prevent the allies from supporting Ukraine,
16:09said the statement.
16:14The news leads us to the United States with Donald Trump
16:17who plans from his inauguration in January
16:20to increase customs rights
16:23on Chinese, Canadian and Mexican products.
16:26A decision that is justified by the crises
16:29related to the OPC and immigration.
16:32On his social network, Trump announced
16:35an increase in customs taxes of 10%,
16:38which are added to those already in place
16:41and to those additional that he could still apply
16:44on all the numerous products coming from China.
16:51Back in the Kingdom, the Ministry of Solidarity,
16:54Social Inclusion and Family
16:57organized the 22nd national campaign
17:00of awareness against violence against women and girls.
17:03An event that coincides with the International Day
17:06for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
17:09Ayub Deraza and Youssef Ouamou
17:12tell us more about it in this story of Cheyma Fikri.
17:16The promotion of the status of women in various fields,
17:19a project of great importance in the government's program.
17:22It is in this context that the Ministry of Solidarity,
17:25Social Inclusion and Family
17:28organized the launch of the 22nd national campaign
17:31of awareness against violence against women and girls.
17:34This event aims to promote the participation
17:37of women and girls in public life
17:40and to preserve their rights and their dignity.
17:46This event is part of the implementation
17:49of the provisions of the Moroccan constitution.
17:52Several articles in this document,
17:55including article 19, clearly stipulate
17:58that Moroccan citizens must be treated in the same way.
18:01There must be equality between the two sexes.
18:04We have addressed the subject of family
18:07because we consider that it is the basis of all change.
18:10There cannot be a problem within the family
18:13because it is the basis of all change.
18:19The organization of this event coincides
18:22with the United Nations campaign against violence against women.
18:25In order to raise awareness of the dangers of violence
18:28and the importance of prevention,
18:31the Ministry has adopted a participatory approach
18:34to implement this campaign.
18:37This involves a number of national and international organizations,
18:40including the Moroccan population.
18:49The theme of this year's campaign is family and its importance.
18:52In Morocco, family is at the heart of the well-being
18:55of Moroccans and their identity.
18:58If the family understood the needs of each of its members
19:01and was open to the acceptance of the differences
19:04of each in the family context,
19:07they would be able to be stronger within their family.
19:13The 22nd national campaign includes a series
19:16of awareness-raising activities
19:19that will be organized at the national and regional level.
19:22In this sense, the government works with its various partners
19:25to implement the provisions of the Public Policy for Equality.
19:30Arrested more than a week ago in dark conditions in Algeria,
19:33the French-Algerian writer Bohalem Sansal
19:36has not yet been heard.
19:39His lawyer, François Zimré, said earlier in the day
19:42that he had no precise news on the state
19:45or detention conditions of the 75-year-old writer.
19:52Several high-ranking French and international officials
19:55have expressed their deep concern
19:58following the arrest of the writer Bohalem Sansal.
20:01Numerous collectives call for the immediate release
20:05of the French-Algerian.
20:08Will this request be heard by the Algerian regime in place?
20:11Dalil Esakali Moulai Abdel Jalil,
20:14lawyer at the Barreau de l'Ile, gives us his analysis.
20:18The Algerian regime is in a mess
20:21because at first they may not have realized
20:24the gravity of the power of the Algerian government.
20:27I don't think the Algerian government
20:30is going to step back.
20:33On the other hand,
20:36President Macron, as president,
20:39and because Bohalem Sansal
20:42is a French citizen,
20:45the protection of France is imposed.
20:48I ask Emmanuel Macron,
20:51prisoner of the French Republic,
20:54not to put pressure on him
20:57to ask for the immediate release
21:00of the writer Bohalem Sansal.
21:03As for Algeria,
21:06I don't think so,
21:09because the Algerian people must be separated from the Algerian government.
21:12I am addressing the Algerian officials
21:15and the security services.
21:18I simply ask that the Algerian regime
21:21give freedom to this writer
21:24who has only related history.
21:27I invite the Algerian people
21:30to consult the thesis of Mr. Christian Mestre,
21:33a university professor in Strasbourg,
21:36who wrote a thesis on the Inigo Treaty.
21:39In his thesis,
21:42he traced the borders of Algeria and Morocco
21:45before 1832.
21:48I invite the Algerian people
21:51to consult the thesis of Mr. Christian Mestre
21:54and to see the borders
21:57and at the same time to note that
22:00Bohalem Sansal and other people
22:03only have to tell the truth about the borders of Algeria
22:06before 1832.
22:09This time in Niger,
22:12the Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed
22:15that the Algerian authorities
22:18had been recalled by the IEU for consultations in Brussels.
22:21On Friday,
22:24the IEU accused the Algerian authorities
22:27of redistributing 1.3 million euros
22:30to foreign NGOs operating in Niger.
22:33They declared an audit
22:36and called on the IEU to do the same.
22:39We are now in the Ivory Coast
22:42and the private sector,
22:45which, through the Patronat des Grandes Entreprises,
22:48holds its 12th edition of the CGECI Academy,
22:51an event scheduled from November 25 to 26,
22:54that Stéphane Soumarrot and Hermann Dogo
22:57will give us the outline.
23:00The CGECI Academy opens its doors
23:03for the 12th edition with well-defined ambitions.
23:06The president of the Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara,
23:09personally participated in this meeting
23:12to show his support for the private sector
23:15that is leading the country's growth,
23:18which is now the second-largest economy in West Africa
23:21and the ninth on the continental level.
23:24To break new ground,
23:27economic actors want to make the service industry
23:30a major pillar of their growth policies.
23:33This edition in 2024 is therefore about the theme
23:37The program will address crucial themes
23:40for our economic future,
23:43including financial services and the future in Africa,
23:46inclusion and female entrepreneurship
23:49in the service sector,
23:52cultural and creative industries,
23:55logistics and the improvement of commercial flows.
23:58The Ivory Coast and Singapore,
24:01countries invited to this edition 2024,
24:04will develop services in their respective economies,
24:07models around which experts and economic actors
24:10have built proposals suitable for Africa.
24:13The development of services can constitute
24:16a powerful factor of diversification and competitiveness.
24:19These are, of course,
24:22services of high added value,
24:25such as financial services,
24:28information and communication technologies,
24:31tourism and retail trade,
24:34which significantly impact the GDP
24:37of many African countries
24:40while stimulating social inclusion.
24:45Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
24:48Director General of the World Trade Organization,
24:51invited participants to act
24:54to transform local economies
24:57and use services as a lever,
25:00the first global economic power
25:03whose strength lies in its most important
25:06service industry in the world.
25:09The Ivory Coast intends to raise the level
25:12of services in the national GDP
25:15and stimulate growth in the performance
25:18of its service industry.
