00:00Welcome to MEDIEN, the newspaper of economic news.
00:13We start in Morocco, where the commercialized products of coastal and artisanal fishing have recorded in terms of value an increase of 6% to more than 9.23 billion dirhams
00:24in the first ten months of 2024 according to the National Fisheries Office.
00:29By species, the landings of cephalopods and pelagic fish respectively increased by 13% to 56,784 tons and 2% to 921,182 tons.
00:44On the other hand, shellfish, eels, crustaceans and white fish have accused respective drops of 92%, 51%, 8% and 5%.
00:56By port, a total of 12,778 tons.
01:00Two products of coastal and artisanal fishing landed in Mediterranean ports at the end of last October,
01:07a drop of 15% compared to the same period a year earlier.
01:11In terms of value, these ports have recorded an increase of 9% to 585.6 million dirhams.
01:17For their part, landings at ports located on the Atlantic have stabilized at 1,089,869 tons for a value of more than 8.64 billion dirhams.
01:32And still in Morocco, Qatar Energy has signed a strategic agreement with OCP NutriCrops, a subsidiary of the Moroccan giant OCP Group,
01:40to provide up to 7.5 million tons of sulfur over a period of 10 years from the third quarter of 2024.
01:49This agreement places Qatar Energy as a key partner in the supply chain of OCP NutriCrops,
01:55which specializes in soil nutrition solutions for sustainable agriculture,
02:00thus responding to global challenges in terms of food security.
02:04For Qatar Energy, this agreement, in addition to further strengthening trade links between the two countries,
02:10is part of a strategy aimed at establishing long-term collaborations with leaders in the de-fertilizer sector,
02:16while supporting global efforts for food security through sustainable agriculture.
02:24And still in Morocco, the government spokesman Mustafa Baytas revealed on Thursday in a press conference
02:30that the kingdom should import up to 20,000 tons of fresh and frozen red meat by the end of the year.
02:36Regarding the figures, the spokesman said that next week he would have more precise data on the situation of import,
02:44especially since so far there has been the treatment of the importation of 10,000 tons of red meat.
02:50As a reminder, at the beginning of the week, a group of 11 companies representing the Spanish red meat supply chain
02:56and Iberian government representatives went to Morocco to hold meetings with the Chamber of Commerce of the Rabat Saleh-Kenitra region,
03:04or in the Tangier region, in order to explore opportunities for partnership and export to Morocco.
03:10The crisis has been felt, especially in the Moroccan wallet, which has seen the prices of red meat soaring,
03:16reaching up to 130 dirhams per kilo.
03:20And we are now going to Senegal, where the Sengomar oil project, located off the Senegalese coast,
03:26continues to produce significant results.
03:29The month of October 2024 marks a new stage for this oil field, with a production of 2.82 million barrels of crude oil.
03:38This figure brings the total production of the project from June to October to 10.99 million barrels,
03:45of which 10.57 million have already been removed and marketed during 11 loads.
03:52With all 12 wells in operation, the Sengomar field maintains a production rate that coincides with initial forecasts.
04:00The daily production remains in line with projections of 100,000 barrels per day,
04:05ensuring an estimated volume of 11.70 million barrels for 2024.
04:10The commercialization of Sengomar oil is taking place fluidly on the international market,
04:16responding to the global demand and generating crucial revenues for Senegal's economic development.
04:22Since the start of operations in June, production has ceased to intensify,
04:27positioning Sengomar as an important player in the country's new oil industry.
04:34We are now heading to the Democratic Republic of Congo,
04:37where the Congolese government and the International Monetary Fund have concluded a preliminary agreement
04:42for two new programs aimed at stimulating the economy and fighting climate change in the RDC,
04:48totaling 2.87 billion dollars.
04:52These programs, supported by the Elargi de Crédit and the Facilité pour la Résilience et la Durabilité,
04:58require major reforms to guarantee economic growth and environmental preservation.
05:04The first program, supported by the Elargi de Crédit and the Facilité pour la Résilience et la Durabilité,
05:09amounts to approximately 1.77 billion dollars to support the RDC towards a more diversified and inclusive growth.
05:17This program, which extends over three years, requires strict reforms from the Congolese government,
05:22with a particular emphasis on respecting public spending procedures.
05:26As for the second program, which is also supported over three years by the Facilité pour la Résilience et la Durabilité,
05:32it amounts to 1.1 billion dollars to help the Congo play a central role in the global transition towards a low-carbon economy.
05:41This program will support forest protection actions,
05:44strengthen the resilience of the country in the face of natural disasters related to the climate,
05:49and encourage the integration of environmental issues in the planning of public investments.
05:56And that's the end of this economic newspaper.
06:00Have a good rest of the program on Mediain.
