Direct social aid: Lekjaa sets out MAD 700 target for 2028

Speaking on 2M on the evening of 28 October 2026, Fouzi Lekjaa outlined the planned timetable for direct social aid: a monthly minimum of MAD 600 in 2027, then MAD 700 in 2028, with a target of MAD 1,000 in 2031.

The minister described a gradual increase from the current MAD 500 minimum. The 2028 milestone clarifies the intended trajectory; it does not represent an increase already paid to households.

According to his remarks reported by Aswat News and L’Observateur, eligibility criteria should also take better account of actual income. Finding work alone should not end assistance while a household remains below the applicable threshold.

These commitments remain subject to adopted provisions and implementation arrangements. The reports consulted do not provide the future income threshold or the final text governing the revised targeting system.
