Omar Hejira announces export support extension to 2031
Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade Omar Hejira announced in the House of Representatives on 26 October that export support would extend to 2031, according to accounts by TelQuel/MAP and Hespress.
He presented local manufacturing of some imported products as a way to reduce the trade deficit, relying on projects to be accelerated with the private sector.
The minister also highlighted export concentration: according to the shares he cited, 85% originate along the Tangier-El Jadida corridor and 70% go to Europe. These statements set out government policy; they do not establish that the deficit has already fallen or that new factories have entered production.
