According to El Otmani, "the government has received 23 notes relating to proposals, some of which have been included in the amending finance bill, and others will be taken into account either in other bills or in draft decrees or as part of measures and procedures to be taken throughout the next phase of the fight against the negative repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic, spanning one or two years," said Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, government's spokesperson, Saaid Amzazi, at a press briefing after the end of the Cabinet meeting held in Rabat under the chairmanship of the Head of Government.

The Head of Government also affirmed that over the last three days, several meetings were held with the General Confederation of Morocco's Enterprises and the most representative trade unions, thanking the latter "for their solidarity and their patriotism".

In this regard, he underlined that it was agreed to hold a new round of social dialogue and to examine the issues related to the preservation of jobs and the support for entrepreneurship in the various productive sectors, adding that "the objective is to reach a solution which meets the interest of all".

Morocco has managed, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to take a series of precautionary measures to support businesses, employees and workers, as well as liberal professions and the informal sector, which will enable the country to face the crisis, to give new impetus to the economy, to revive the national enterprise so as to generate wealth and preserve jobs, El Otmani pointed out.

El Otmani highlighted the dynamism which characterized the last period, marked by the elaboration of the Amending Finance Bill, which is the first of its kind under the 2011 Constitution, and which has not been adopted in the country for more than two decades, recalling that the general guidelines of the text were presented to the Council of Ministers, chaired by HM the King.

The amending Finance Bill was then approved by the Government Council and presented to Parliament on Wednesday, where it is currently being examined by the Finance Committee, before being submitted for adoption to the two Houses of Parliament.
