Lekjaa Warns on Exports

Fouzi Lekjaa, Minister of Economy and Finance, said during the House of Representatives’ debate on the 2027 Finance Bill that the needs of the Moroccan market must take priority over exports. He stressed that exports cannot be doubled after seven years of drought while domestic prices are rising exceptionally. He said the government plans to regulate activities in cooperation with producers and modernize wholesale markets, with the state’s role limited to coordinating supply between production and consumption—not buying and selling goods. He linked the plan’s success to regulating exports, reforming meat and fish supply chains, and monitoring stocks, prices and exports, while preserving private initiative and competition.
