00:00Hello and thank you for joining us in this new edition of the Journal of the Economy.
00:12In Morocco, the net flow of foreign direct investments has recorded good progress during
00:18the first ten months of the year. According to data from the Office of Exchange, it reached
00:23nearly 19.5 billion dirhams, an increase of 61.6% compared to the same period a year earlier.
00:31Investment revenues have recorded an increase of 23.7% to more than 33.3 billion dirhams
00:40and expenses have fallen from 7.1% to 13.8 billion dirhams.
00:46Concerning the net flow of direct Moroccan investments abroad, it has fallen from 10.6% to 7.24 billion dirhams.
00:56We are still in Morocco with the latest figures from the Office of Exchange.
01:00The aeronautical sector maintains its good dynamics in exports.
01:04In the first ten months of the year, exports were at 21.86 billion dirhams,
01:11a 17.3% increase compared to the same period a year earlier.
01:16This evolution is explained in particular by the increase in sales of the assembly segment,
01:22from 26.9% to 14.26 billion dirhams.
01:27Concerning phosphates and derivatives, their exports recorded 68.34 billion dirhams,
01:34an increase of 12.5%.
01:37The same dynamic also affects the automotive sector,
01:41whose exports have plummeted from 8% to 131.35 billion dirhams.
01:47On the other hand, the textile and leather sector and the metallurgy and plastic industries
01:52have respectively fallen from 0.5% to 4.1%.
01:58Before concluding the Morocco page,
02:00know that the transfers of funds made by Moroccans living abroad
02:04exceed the 100 billion dirhams bar during the first ten months of the year.
02:09According to the data from the Office of Exchange,
02:11they amounted to 100.29 billion dirhams at the end of October,
02:16against 96.51 billion dirhams during the same period a year earlier.
02:22These transfers amount to a 3.9% increase compared to the first ten months of the previous year.
02:28Concerning the excess of the service balance,
02:31it falls from 1.2% to 111.26 billion dirhams
02:35due to an increase in import services to 16.6%,
02:40more important than exports to 7.3%.
02:45On their side, travel revenues amount to around 96.92 billion dirhams
02:51during the same period,
02:53against 88.63 billion dirhams a year earlier.
02:57In international economic news,
03:00while some countries are considering going green
03:03in international trade,
03:05Donald Trump has threatened the BRICS countries with 100% customs rights.
03:10The BRICS group includes nine countries,
03:12including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
03:15In the financial sector,
03:17the group is considering moving from the dollar,
03:20which serves as a reference currency for global exchanges.
03:23These countries have in particular considered creating their own common currency.
03:27But this project, which would involve giving up part of its sovereignty
03:31within a group of very heterogeneous countries,
03:33is still far from being accomplished.
03:35After his election against Kamala Harris in early November,
03:38Donald Trump is due to take office on 20 January at the White House.
03:42But even before that date,
03:44the elected president has multiple threats of increasing customs rights
03:48against different countries,
03:50which poses a threat of a vast trade war
03:53capable of penalising global growth.
03:56China is now leading the way.
03:58This is an encouraging sign for the authorities
04:01who are trying to revive the second world economy.
04:04Manufacturing activity has progressed in November
04:07for the second month in a row.
04:09According to the National Bureau of Statistics,
04:12the index of the directors of the world's industry
04:16was set at 50.3 points,
04:18against 50.1 points in October.
04:21This figure slightly exceeds the anticipation of analysts
04:24surveyed by the Bloomberg Agency,
04:26which was set at 50.2 points.
04:29It should be noted that Pekin has announced
04:31a series of measures each week
04:33aimed at stimulating the economy.
04:35These are, among other things,
04:37a reduction in reference interest rates,
04:39easing of housing purchase restrictions
04:42and raising the ceiling of local government debt.
04:46But some economists believe
04:48that even more direct fiscal measures
04:51are necessary to revitalise the Chinese economy.
04:54This is the end of our edition today.
04:56Excellent continuation of the programmes on our antenna.
05:05Thanks for watching.
