How it started
Morocco Adopts 2027 Budget Guidelines Amid Cabinet Resignations
What happened
Morocco adopted draft budget guidelines for 2027, which were reviewed by the Council of Ministers in Rabat. The guidelines forecast that the Moroccan economy is expected to close 2026 with a growth rate of 4.7%, inflation at 0.7%, and a budget deficit of 3% of the Gross Domestic Product. Separately, nine officials, including Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, submitted their resignations from the House of Representatives due to legal incompatibility between their parliamentary mandates and new government positions.
Why it matters
The budget emphasizes restoring purchasing power and consolidating a sustainable welfare state, with planned structural reforms to markets and pricing starting in 2027. These measures are set against an international backdrop of rising geostrategic conflict costs and protectionist trends.
