00:00Hello and welcome to your Economic Overview on Medihand.
00:12We start in Morocco, where the artisanal sector
00:15makes an estimated annual turnover of 140 billion dirhams
00:19and contributes 7% to gross domestic product at the national level.
00:24The sector generates a turnover of 86.3 billion dirhams
00:28in the production artisanal category
00:30and 43.7 billion dirhams in the service artisanal category.
00:35The sector contributes 7% to gross domestic product
00:38while 275,000 artisanal units operate at the national level
00:43in addition to 2,063 companies.
00:46Exports of artisanal products rose to nearly 1.11 billion dirhams in 2024,
00:52an increase of 3% compared to 2023.
00:55In the region of Fesnknes, the sector employs more than 144,000 artisans
01:00in the category of artistic and productive artisanal
01:03with 44,000 units in the region
01:06which represents about 16% of the number of units of production at the national level.
01:11The sector generates a turnover of nearly 10.6 billion dirhams at the regional level
01:16which is nearly 11% of the sector's turnover
01:19in the categories of production artisanal and services at the national level.
01:24In national news, the global cost of the reform
01:27on the reduction of income tax
01:29rose to 8.6 billion dirhams.
01:32This reform includes a general revision of yesterday's BAREM,
01:35including the lifting of the threshold for exoneration
01:37from 30,000 to 40,000 dirhams of annual income
01:40which allows the exoneration of monthly salaries
01:42lower than 6,000 dirhams.
01:44This reform also led to the reorganization of the tax breaks
01:48in order to widen them and reduce the applicable rates
01:51which will lead to a decrease of up to 50% of these rates.
01:54In addition, the marginal tax rate has been reduced from 38% to 37%.
01:59Thus, the reform also allowed to raise the amount of the annual deduction
02:03which goes from 360 to 500 dirhams
02:06thus bringing the ceiling of the reduction to 3,000 dirhams.
02:09The proportion of taxpayers now totally exonerated from yesterday
02:13will climb from 71.4% to 80%
02:17which means that all monthly salaries lower than 6,000 dirhams
02:20will be completely exempted.
02:22Also, salaries lower than 15,000 dirhams
02:25will benefit from 69.9% of the global financial effort
02:29devoted to this reform.
02:31Another national news, Morocco and Japan
02:33strengthen their cooperation in maritime fishing
02:36with the official inauguration of the research ship
02:39and the signing of a financing agreement
02:42for the project of the new generation fishing village in Sueriak Dima.
02:45Acquired as part of a concessional loan of 462 million dirhams
02:49granted by Japan,
02:51this ship is a cutting-edge scientific tool
02:53intended for oceanographic research.
02:55With a Japanese financing amounting to 129 million dirhams
02:58and a length of 48.5 meters,
03:01a width of 11.83 meters
03:03and a power of 1,500 kilowatts,
03:06the ship can accommodate up to 33 people.
03:09Its cruising speed is 12 knots
03:11and its average water length of 4.2 meters
03:13allows it to carry out in-depth scientific missions,
03:16thus strengthening Morocco's capacity
03:18for sustainable management of marine resources.
03:21Still in Morocco, Africa 50 launches two new investment funds.
03:25The first, Alliance for Green Infrastructures in Africa,
03:28will be endowed with a total fund of 500 million dollars,
03:31including 100 for the preparation of projects.
03:33The second fund will target renewable energy companies,
03:37distributed with a fund of 200 million dollars.
03:40The Alliance for Green Infrastructures in Africa fund
03:43is the first of these new funds.
03:45It will be endowed with 500 million dollars,
03:47400 million for the development of projects,
03:49to which 100 million will be added for the preparation of projects.
03:53Sectors such as renewable energy and transport,
03:55which limit greenhouse gas emissions,
03:57are the target of this fund.
03:59The second fund, Africa Solar Facility,
04:01sets up a fund of 200 million dollars
04:04to invest in companies providing renewable energy,
04:07distributed like mini-solar networks and domestic systems.
04:11The International Solar Alliance will endow this new fund.
04:15And finally, for Clore, your economic newspaper,
04:17Morocco will begin an exponential growth
04:19of its alloy sector as early as 2027.
04:22Morocco is already showing notable performance in the sector.
04:25In 2024, national production reached 1.42 million tons,
04:30generating a value of 16.3 billion dirhams.
04:33This production relies on a rigorous management
04:35of alloy stocks,
04:37notably thanks to the 30-year development of fisheries,
04:40covering the main fishing areas.
04:42Artisanal fishing accounts for 8% of total catches,
04:45while coastal and industrial fishing
04:47completes the rest.
04:49The transformation industry of sea products
04:51plays a key role in this dynamic,
04:53with 518 units of valorization on land
04:56and 311 units of sea freezing.
04:59Morocco transforms about 60%
05:01of coastal fishing catches into canned,
05:03fresh, frozen, salted
05:05or in flour and fish oil.
05:07This industry exports to 138 international markets,
05:10generating significant revenues.
05:13In 2023, sea product exports
05:15reached 31 billion dirhams,
05:17representing 37% of the country's agri-food exports.
05:22This was the essentials of your economic news.
