Government policies promoting entrepreneurship, particularly for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, have helped reshape the economic climate, making it healthy and investment-friendly, Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch said Monday.
Speaking in the House of Representatives during question time, Akhannouch said that the government’s interest in this sector was first reflected in reforms to the public procurement system, which included allocating 30% of the value of planned contracts to this category of businesses.
In this context, the government approved three investment bonuses, which together can reach 30% of the total amount of investment eligible for support. These include a bonus for the creation of permanent jobs, a territorial bonus aimed at reducing spatial disparities, and a specific bonus for priority activities, he said.
These grants, he noted, are intended for investment in important productive professions and sectors, covering approximately 14 key sectors and 54 secondary activities in all regions, noting that they are part of the new roadmap for employment, with a main focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises with a total annual budget estimated at MAD 12 billion.
In addition, the Head of Government praised institutional partners, particularly the banking sector and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), for their commitment to this government initiative through the signing of a charter to finance and support very small enterprises.
