Pension system reform:
- Ensuring sustainability of pension funds
- Protecting the rights of future generations

In this context, Atiq Said, Professor of Public Law at Cadi Ayyad University, emphasized the need to develop new concepts in line with the current climate situation, setting strategic goals that consider various regions and climatic conditions, focusing on ensuring water justice.
Said stressed the importance of finding consensus on a convincing vision for pension system reform by presenting a comprehensive and detailed project for all principles and visions. He added that this would advance social dialogue, improving the social situation of beneficiaries while maintaining financial sustainability.
Regarding economic challenges, the Prime Minister’s guidance note on preparing the 2025 Finance Bill indicated that the government will continue its efforts to balance strengthening budgetary margins and public finance sustainability while implementing social and economic reforms aimed at creating job opportunities and consolidating comprehensive development foundations.
Said concluded by emphasizing that the current phase requires exploring the most effective approaches to implementing priorities, noting that completing the developmental-social projects and workshops launched by King Mohammed VI would establish a renewed and comprehensive perspective that strengthens the foundations of the social state and improves citizens’ living standards.
In conclusion, it’s worth noting that the Prime Minister stressed, in the first government council after the holiday, the need to redouble efforts to activate various public policies, increase the pace of work, and demonstrate seriousness and effectiveness in implementing programmed projects, confirming the government’s determination to face existing challenges with firmness and resolve.
