Morocco plans to switch to GMT
Morocco announces its return to Greenwich Mean Time permanently starting September 20, 2026, after about eight years of adopting daylight saving time in 2018. The decision comes amid ongoing debate over the impact of summer time on health and social life, as well as work and study schedules, alongside discussions about energy efficiency. In recent years, there have been widespread protests and popular demands to abolish the time change, as previous governments justified the change with energy and economic reasons. However, recent studies have shown that the benefits were limited. The decision is made three days before the upcoming legislative elections and aims to restore the country's natural time. Nonetheless, questions remain regarding the social and economic effects of this shift.
