His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God Assist Him, on Saturday, 1 June 2024, corresponding to 23 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1445 AH, chaired, at the Royal Palace in Casablanca, a Council of Ministers dedicated to the approval of the strategic orientations of the State’s contribution policy, a draft regulatory law, a number of draft decrees on the military field and appointments to senior positions.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Minister of Economy and Finance gave a presentation to His Majesty the King on the strategic orientations of the State’s contribution policy.
The Minister stressed that the reform of the public enterprises sector is in line with the Royal directives and aims to reshape the public portfolio and improve its management, as well as implement reforms in some key sectors of the national economy to ensure an accessible and high-quality public service and accelerate the preparation of the State Contribution Policy.
The State Contribution Policy is one of the main pillars of the Public Enterprises and Enterprises Sector Reform Project, which will be carried out by the National Agency in charge of the strategic management of State Contributions. It reflects the strategic orientations and general objectives of the state’s contribution, its role in the governance of public enterprises and companies, and the way this policy is implemented.
The Minister explained that the structure of the State’s contribution policy is centred around the following seven strategic directions:
I: Establishing the public enterprises sector as a strategic lever to strengthen national sovereignty: By supporting the state’s efforts in a range of vital sectors, especially energy, health, water, food security, environment, communication and mobility.
Secondly: Making the public enterprise sector an engine for continental and international integration: In order to respond to geo-strategic challenges, ensure the Kingdom’s interests and contribute to the promotion of South-South cooperation, especially with brotherly African countries.
III: Adopting the public enterprise sector as a key pillar to promote private investment: By establishing voluntary partnerships with the private sector, within a framework of complementarity and enhancing the contribution of the private sector to the national economic dynamism.
IV: Establishing the public enterprise sector as a catalyst for a competitive economy and a means of sharing value added and promoting productive employment: Particularly by supporting effective and flexible economic models, in line with the requirements of regulation, the competitive environment and market opportunities.
V: Adopting the public enterprise sector as an active actor in terms of spatial justice and in the service of economic, social, financial and digital inclusion: Within the framework of advanced regionalisation, in order to ensure local justice and equal access for citizens to quality public services.
Sixth: Adopting the public enterprise sector as a responsible manager of resources, in line with the objectives of sustainable development: By enhancing the contribution of public enterprises to promoting responsible management of natural resources and strengthening the country’s resilience to climate change.
VII: Strengthening the role of the public enterprise sector in terms of governance and performance: By establishing an active management of their portfolio and strengthening their contributions or developing a policy of divestment, with the aim of optimising the material and immaterial assets of public enterprises and public enterprises and improving their performance.
