00:46 for health and agriculture.
00:48 This agreement will contribute to the strengthening
00:51 of bilateral relations between Morocco and the Netherlands,
00:54 and to the consolidation of economic partnership
00:57 between the two countries
00:59 in the development of infrastructure projects.
01:02 We stay in Morocco,
01:05 where the national global animal supply of SINA ID-ATHA
01:08 is estimated at 7.8 million head,
01:11 including 6.3 million sheep
01:14 and 1.5 million sheep.
01:16 This supply exceeds the demand,
01:18 which is estimated at 5.6 million head,
01:21 including 5.1 million sheep
01:23 and 500,000 head of sheep.
01:25 This is what the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries
01:28 has announced.
01:30 Following the succession of two years of drought,
01:33 the cattle industry has experienced a disruption
01:36 of the regularity of the reproduction of the shepherd.
01:39 This conjuncture, also characterized by an inflation
01:42 of the prices of the inputs,
01:44 has also had an effect on production costs.
01:47 And in international news,
01:50 the French economy should see a sharp slowdown in 2023,
01:54 but less pronounced than expected,
01:56 on a calm background for inflation,
01:59 according to the Bank of France.
02:01 After a 2.5% increase last year,
02:04 GDP would progress by 0.7% in 2023.
02:08 The French central bank attributes this small gain of optimism
02:13 to the normalization of the energy situation.
02:16 This forecast, however,
02:18 remains below the 1% increase expected by the government.
02:22 Next year, household expenses should improve
02:26 with the gradual decrease in the inflation rate.
02:29 On the other hand,
02:31 the 2024 growth rate was revised to 1%,
02:35 against 1.25% previously.
02:39 For 2025, the forecast is 1.5% against 1.7%.
02:45 Still in Europe, this time in Switzerland,
02:48 where the central bank raised its directorial rate of 25 points on Thursday,
02:53 to 1.75%, despite the recent decrease in inflation.
02:58 If the Swiss central bank has lowered its inflation forecast
03:02 to 2.2% this year,
03:05 against 2.6% previously,
03:08 it has, on the other hand,
03:10 raised its 2024 inflation rate to 2.2% against 2% previously.
03:15 The bank has also maintained its 1% growth forecast for 2023,
03:21 and is expected to grow modestly for the rest of the year,
03:25 given the weakness of the foreign demand,
03:28 the decline in purchasing power,
03:30 the tightening of financing conditions.
03:34 On the other hand,
03:36 the European Central Bank has continued its fight against inflation,
03:40 with an increase of a quarter of a percentage point,
03:43 while the US Federal Reserve preferred to take a break
03:48 after ten successive withdrawals from its rates.
03:51 We are still talking about interest rates,
03:53 this time in the United Kingdom.
03:55 On Thursday, the Bank of England decided to raise it
03:58 for the 13th consecutive time to 5%.
04:02 The goal is to try to contain the outflow of inflation.
04:06 This increase comes a day after the publication of data
04:11 showing that inflation remained stable at 8.7%,
04:15 but which is higher than what economists had expected.
04:19 The Bank of England hopes that its decisive gesture
04:23 will show its determination to control the rapid price increase.
04:27 However, this decision will push credit institutions
04:31 to withdraw their real estate loans at fixed rates
04:35 and increase the price.
04:37 This is the end of this edition.
04:39 Thank you for following it.
04:41 Have a good rest of the program on Mediain TV.
