00:00Hello everyone and welcome to Mediantv for your press release.
00:14During the year 2025, the French Development Agency will expand its activities in the Sahara and Morocco
00:19in the continuity of the official recognition of the sovereignty of the Kingdom over its southern provinces.
00:24As a result of a DIC challenge, the AFD will focus its action on three strategic axes,
00:29namely the sustainable management of natural resources, the sustainable development of territories,
00:34the greening of infrastructures, as well as the strengthening of human capital skills and social cohesion.
00:40The information portal specifies, recalling that the Agency has demobilized some 536 million euros in various sectors.
00:47At the heart of a France-Morocco partnership last year, the Agency's new orientation
00:52is the right-of-way to Cap Tracé by visiting the Kingdom of President Emmanuel Macron.
00:57In this sense, AFD Director-General Rémi Rioux must soon go to the UNEDERLA to meet local populations,
01:04adds the website of the specialized magazine CHALLENGE.
01:07Concluded by a figure of more than 7 billion euros,
01:10this is the amount invested by the AFD for 30 years to support the innovative reforms and investments
01:16designed and carried out by Moroccan public and private players,
01:19making the Kingdom the first partner of the Group in the world.
01:25Still in the Kingdom, despite the ban in force for 8 years, the tide of cryptocurrencies continues, explains Jeune Afrique.
01:32Between 2019 and 2024, nearly 2.9 million Moroccans have joined the universe of electronic currencies,
01:39according to a study carried out by the French financial broker HelloSafe in partnership with Statista.
01:45Resumed by the magazine Panafrica, this analysis reveals that in 2019,
01:49the number of followers experienced an increase of 60%, only 5 years to now exceed 6 million.
01:55But according to HelloSafe, these figures must be taken with caution,
01:58indicating that there is to date no official source,
02:01referring to holders of cryptocurrencies worldwide.
02:04This is why surveys and investigations remain the best way to assess their adoption.
02:09Currently, nearly 5% of the Moroccan population trades in cryptocurrencies
02:13and this despite a ban in force since 2017, emphasizes the magazine.
02:17However, this restriction could soon be lifted,
02:20since the governor of Banque de Marib had announced last November
02:23that a law restricting cryptocurrencies was under way.
02:29200 million dollars is the stunning investment of Tesla's boss Elon Musk to inaugurate in Shanghai.
02:35Last Tuesday, a huge battery manufacturing center informs us,
02:40in the shape of a Chinese ping-pong ball.
02:42It took just 7 months to come out of the ground.
02:44The Shangguan newspaper triumphs to talk about this new mega battery factory
02:49in the industrial zone of Lingang, in the outskirts of Shanghai.
02:52This new factory should produce 10,000 megapacks each year.
02:56These are giant batteries supposed to help administrations and companies
02:59smooth the energy demand on a network
03:02and provide electricity in the event of a power outage or a power outage,
03:06which can power 3,600 homes for an hour.
03:09Astonishing news, as we know that Elon Musk is also a member of the new Trump administration,
03:13which is currently strengthening the trade war with China.
03:16In the image of customs rights on steel and aluminum,
03:19which were raised to 25% at the beginning of the week,
03:22it must be said that China was in 2024
03:24the main carrier market for Tesla car sales,
03:27with an increase of nearly 9%.
03:29When world car manufacturer sales
03:31have accused a 1% drop,
03:33business is business.
03:36For its part, the Wall Street Journal is interested
03:39in the false good idea of unlimited leave.
03:41In the United States, a concept launched in the 2000s
03:44by the tech sector.
03:46Currently, 7% of American companies
03:48offer their employees the opportunity to enjoy
03:50unlimited leave.
03:52This is one more point than in 2022,
03:54at a time when employers were trying to seduce professionals
03:57by offering them generous salaries
03:59and various social advantages.
04:01And much more than in 2014,
04:03only 1% of companies had adopted this type of device,
04:06notes the Wall Street Journal.
04:08But what is the magical number of days of leave
04:10that employees really take,
04:12to whom this possibility is offered?
04:14A recent survey by the company
04:16of financial services Empower
04:18allows to answer this question.
04:20Employees who work for companies
04:22offering unlimited leave
04:24take on average 16 days of leave
04:26against 14 on average for other American workers.
04:28Morality, removing the annual ceiling of leave
04:30does not necessarily mean
04:32that employees will really benefit
04:34from much more rest.
04:38And in order to fight
04:40against over-tourism in Portugal,
04:42the capital Lisbon will ban
04:44tuk-tuks on 337 streets
04:46of the historic center,
04:48says the International Courier.
04:50The municipal decree,
04:52announced by the Portuguese Publico newspaper,
04:54is motivated by the desire to protect residents
04:56against excesses of tourist activity.
04:58It will come into force on April 1,
05:00waiting for a new regulation
05:02on these vehicles to be approved
05:04by a municipal council,
05:06writes the French magazine.
05:08The Lisbon City Hall is also preparing
05:10a new regulation to regulate
05:12the activity of tuk-tuks in Lisbon
05:14by limiting the number of licenses
05:16and imposing a professional training
05:18on the driver.
05:20In response, the association
05:22representing the sector in Lisbon
05:24says it is ready to accept the new rules
05:26but will study the banned streets
05:28in hotels, tourist accommodation,
05:30restaurants and museums
05:32to continue to transport tourists
05:34to these places.
05:36It does not exclude an action in justice
05:38if a dialogue is not established quickly
05:40with the city hall of the capital.
05:42This is the end of this press conference.
05:44Thank you all for following it.
05:46Good follow-up on Mediator TV.
