00:00Hello and welcome to your economic crossroads on Medihan TV, your daily news right now.
00:15We start in Morocco, where the production of citrus fruits should grow by 11.97% for 2024-2025.
00:23Expected to reach 2.14 million tonnes according to the World Organization for Agricultural Products, the WCO,
00:29this production reflects a progression that goes against the expected drops in several countries in the northern hemisphere.
00:35If the increased production of the Moroccan crop is realized, it would be considered significant,
00:41it would indeed occur in a context of severe hydric stress in Morocco,
00:45and would also reflect the support efforts of the Kingdom to improve the management of water resources in agriculture.
00:52Also, the global production of citrus fruits in the northern hemisphere should decline.
00:56The WCO is expected to reach 27.297 million tonnes, a drop of 8.73% compared to the previous season.
01:05Exports should follow the same trend, 8.38 million tonnes, a drop of 8.94%.
01:13In national news as well, on September 30, 2024, the turnover of Acnital reached 2 billion dirhams,
01:20compared to 1.33 billion a year earlier.
01:23Thus, Acnital recorded an increase of 52% of its turnover.
01:28This performance is based on the continuous expansion of its national network,
01:32marked by the opening of the private hospital in Tetouan in August,
01:35bringing the total capacity of the group to 2,763 beds, spread over 25 establishments, including 13 cities.
01:42In the third quarter alone, Acnital made a turnover of 768 million dirhams,
01:49a 51% increase compared to the third quarter of 2023.
01:53The new clinics, inaugurated in 2024 in Khodebuka and Sawira, Marrakech and Tetouan,
01:59contributed up to 113 million dirhams, while the open establishments in 2023 saw their activity intensify,
02:06generating an increase of 237 million dirhams, or more than 156%.
02:12Still in Morocco, Tijari Wafa Bank confirmed its financial and operational solidity,
02:17showing net improvements results in the first nine months of 2024.
02:22The net profit of the group reached 7.2 billion dirhams,

02:31The consolidated net bank product reached 25.2 billion dirhams,
02:36a 12.9% increase compared to the same period in 2023.
02:41This performance is based on strong commercial activity,
02:45materialized by an increase in credit and customer deposits, respectively of 7.8% and 9.8%,
02:52as well as notable growth in market activity revenues, which soared by 44.3%.

03:01On September 30, the consolidated turnover of AfrariaGas rose to 6.4 billion dirhams,
03:07an increase of 3.3% over a year.
03:10This progress is mainly due to the increase in returns,
03:14which strongly contributed to the improvement of revenues, especially in the third quarter.

03:25compared to the same period in the previous year, reaching 2.17 billion dirhams.
