The Sovereign chaired an important Council of Ministers session on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at the Royal Palace in Rabat, attended by the Head of Government, state ministers, and senior officials of the Kingdom.
This meeting continued the structural reforms initiated over the past several years, particularly those related to the extension of social protection, health, education, and the promotion of private investment.
A budget focused on responsibility and solidarity
The 2026 finance bill discussed during this Council is based on two major pillars:
-
Strengthening the social block, through the continuation of support programs for households, the reform of health and education systems, and the implementation of the unified social register.
-
Consolidation of macroeconomic stability, with particular attention to controlling the budget deficit, prudent management of public debt, and stimulating job-creating investments.
Priority structural reforms
Beyond the budgetary framework, the Council of Ministers also addressed the issue of reforms related to the modernization of administration, energy transition, and water security, confirming the Kingdom's commitment to continuing its path toward sustainable and inclusive development.
The King emphasized the necessity of ensuring coherence between public policies and social expectations, reminding that the State must remain the guarantor of social and territorial justice.
A meeting marked by realism and rigor
According to several observers, this meeting comes at a pivotal moment as Morocco seeks to balance ambition and caution in the face of an uncertain international environment. The decisions made reflect a priority given to budget sustainability without giving up on human investment.
The presentation of the 2026 finance bill to Parliament will mark the next step in this process, ahead of its final adoption in the coming weeks.
