00:00Hello and welcome to Medias, it's time for your newspaper of economic news.
00:12Morocco records a budget deficit of 21.1 billion dirhams against 3.8 billion the previous year.
00:20According to the Treasury of the Kingdom, this deficit accounts for a positive balance of
00:2614.2 billion dirhams from state special accounts and services.
00:31Gross ordinary revenues have increased by 9.7%, thus reaching 56.6 billion dirhams
00:39thanks to an increase in direct and indirect taxes, although untaxed customs rights and revenues have decreased.
00:46Ordinary expenses have increased by 50.5% in large part due to the increase in goods and services expenses
00:54and interest rates of the debt. The ordinary balance was set at minus 18.2 billion dirhams,
01:01compared to a positive balance of 1.9 billion a year earlier.
01:07We continue our newspaper with this note on the global trend of the real estate market in the fourth quarter of 2024.
01:14The index of real estate asset prices remained stable throughout the year 2024 compared to 2023,
01:22indicates Bancalmarrebé, the National Agency for Funding Conservation of the Cadastre and the Cartography.
01:28This situation reflects a stabilization of the prices of the residential, an increase of 0.1% of those of the land
01:36and a decrease of 0.1% of those of the goods for professional use.
01:41Regarding the number of sales, it recorded an increase of 5% the previous year,
01:46a result of a rise of 5.2% of the sales of residential goods of 5.8% of those of the land and 1.9% of those of the goods for professional use.
01:57Per city, the index of the prices of real estate assets displayed throughout the year rose from 0.3% in Rabat to 1% in Marrakech
02:06as well as a decrease from 0.2% in Casablanca to 0.1% in Tangier.
02:14In Morocco, the value of the products of coastal and artisanal fishing increased by 13% at the end of February of this year,
02:23reaching more than 2.29 billion dirhams.
02:26However, the total weight of the products fell by 27%, thus rising to 67,644 tons.
02:34According to the National Office for Fishing in the Mediterranean ports, the weight of the products increased by 9%,
02:40with a rise of 21%.
02:43On the other hand, the Atlantic ports recorded a decrease of 28% in weight, although their value increased by 13%.
02:53Before closing the page, Morocco, know that the kingdom should know a growth of 3.5% this year according to the report of the Mastercard Economics Instituta.
03:05This slightly higher growth than the world average, estimated at 3.2%, is supported by the stability of inflation around 2.5% and the increase in fund transfers.
03:18Consumption expenses should progress by 3.4%, especially in food, health and education.
03:27According to the same source, the economic recovery supported by the digitization of fund transfers should strengthen the financial resilience of households.
03:37Internationally, OPEP maintains its forecast for oil demand growth in 2025 and 2026, thanks in particular to air and road transport.
03:48According to its latest report, the world should thus consume 105.2 million barrels per day this year, after its 3.75 million barrels per day the previous year.
04:00The oil exporter cartel thus anticipates an increase of 1.4 million barrels per day,
04:07carried by a strong demand for air transport and the good health of road mobility and sectors of industry, construction and agriculture.
04:16For 2026, OPEP is expected to increase black gold demand to an identical level of 1.4 million barrels per day, almost exclusively carried by non-member countries of the OECD.
04:29World consumption would then reach 106.6 million barrels per day.
04:37In the United States, this is a new step in the trade war between the United States and its main trading partners.
04:44The 25% customs rights on steel and aluminum wanted by Donald Trump have become effective on Wednesday.
04:52The American president had already taxed steel and aluminum imports during his first term,
04:57but this new tax is wanted without exception and without exemption, he assured during their announcement in early February.
05:04Canada, China, the European Union, Japan or Australia are thus concerned.
05:10In response, the European Commission announced that it would apply strong but proportionate customs rights on a series of American products from April 1.
05:20The United States imports about half of the steel and aluminum used in the country,
05:25for sectors as varied as automotive or aviation, petrochemicals or basic consumer goods such as canned goods.
