State Council's New Role
Royal Decree No. (97/2026) granted the State Council a new mandate to review draft economic and social agreements that the government intends to conclude or join, and to submit its views on them alongside the Shura Council within 30 days. The amendment to Article (52) also provided for draft development plans and the general budget to be referred to both councils simultaneously, with each submitting its recommendations within one month. The councils must be notified of any recommendations the government does not adopt, along with its reasons. These changes strengthen the State Council’s role in decision-making and make greater use of its members’ expertise. The effectiveness of its views, however, depends on referring proposals early and allowing sufficient time for study.
