00:00Hello and thank you for joining us in the news of the economic news of May 1.
00:12At the beginning of our edition today, the bank deposits have displayed a remarkable increase of 8.2% to reach a total of 1,224.4 billion dirhams at the end of September 2024.
00:26According to data published by Banq al-Marrib, this result reflects a sustained growth of deposits, notably by the increase in household deposits and non-financial companies.
00:37Indeed, household deposits amounted to 900.3 billion dirhams, an increase of 6.1% compared to the previous year, with a significant share of 208.3 billion held by Moroccans living abroad.

02:04The number of added distributors has remained unchanged at 35 since October 2023.
02:10This assessment is part of a regular report in the context of the commitments made by these companies following transactional agreements with the Competition Council,
02:20aiming to guarantee transparency and monitoring of their storage and distribution activities.
02:27Back to the latest figures from Banq al-Marrib, this time regarding the participatory financing for the habitat,
02:34mainly in the form of Moula Baha Real Estate, which reached 23.8 billion dirhams at the end of September,
02:41a 13.7% progression over a year.

02:50followed by an increase of 1.5% of the rents for housing and 1.1% for loans and consumption.
02:58In addition, Banq al-Marrib specifies that the criteria remain stable for these two types of loans.

03:13a 5.14% variance for large companies,
03:18and 5.74% for very small and medium-sized companies.

03:45Pedro Sánchez assured that the support measures would be extended to a larger number of people and goods,
03:51and that farmers will also receive a new aid of a total amount of 200 million euros.
03:57The head of the government compared these measures to the intervention of the state
04:01to support the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
04:04The government had already announced last week a first aid plan of 10.6 billion euros
04:10after this disaster, which caused more than 220 deaths.
