00:00Welcome to MEDIEN, right now the news of the economic news.
00:12We start in Morocco and in preparation for the World Cup 2030, the Kingdom plans to
00:17carry the capacity of its airports to 80 million passengers by 2030, against 38 million
00:24currently.
00:25This is what the head of the Moroccan government, Aziz Arnouch, announced on Monday in front
00:29of the deputies.
00:30In this same sense, the Casablanca airport will reach a capacity of 23.3 million passengers.
00:37The tourist hubs of Marrakech and Agadir will be able to accommodate a respective 14.6 million
00:44passengers.
00:45The Kingdom also plans to extend its railway network at high speed to Marrakech and Agadir
00:52before the tournament.
00:53In the longer term, the National Railway Operator aims to double the number of
00:57city services, with a total of 43 by 2040, i.e. 87% of the population.
01:04On the sporting level, 45 stadiums and training sites in 6 cities will be renovated or built
01:11with a new stadium of 115,000 seats near Casablanca.
01:14The global budget of this government plan is estimated at 5 billion dirhams.
01:20And still in Morocco, this annual report of the Court of Auditors of Morocco, which
01:27highlights an economic growth of 3.4% for the year 2023, a clear improvement from 1.5%
01:35in 2022.
01:36However, forecasts for 2024 are less optimistic, with an anticipated 2.8% drop.
01:43This report highlights not only the advances made in budgetary management and structural
01:48reforms, but also the persistent challenges that the country must face.
01:52The report tells us that despite a inflation rate of 6.7% in 2023, the budgetary deficit
01:59was reduced from 5.4% to 4.4% of GDP.
02:04However, public debt remains worrying, reaching 69.5% of GDP.
02:10The report also states that although investment spending has increased by 18%, their efficiency
02:17is being questioned by execution problems and a lack of adequate prior study.
02:22Essential projects such as the National Water Supply Program are significantly delayed.
02:28Finally, regarding digitization, the report underlines that the digitization of public services
02:34is progressing, but remains insufficient, with only 23% of services entirely digitized.
02:40The Court of Auditors therefore calls for a quick action to avoid a breath of reform
02:45and ensure that Morocco's economic ambitions are translated into concrete and sustainable results.
02:52France is now heading for the year 2025, which is particularly agitated for the French economy
02:59between the absence of a budget, a government in the process of composing, and a European economy.
03:05In slow motion, the indicators are in the red.
03:07In these last perspectives revealed on Monday, the Bank of France is trading on a GDP growth of 0.9% in 2025.
03:15This is 0.3 points less than in mid-September, which was 1.2%.
03:21The revision to the decrease in growth is linked to uncertainty about the budgetary situation,
03:25which plays negatively on activity.
03:27This is what Olivier Garnier, Director of Studies at the Bank of France, explained on the same day
03:32at a press conference.
03:33As for 2024, growth should accelerate to 1.1%, according to previous forecasts.
03:40As a reminder, the Bank of France stopped its projection exercise on November 27th,
03:45a few days before the motion for a census was voted on.
03:48It therefore complains of numerous fluctuations above its calculations.
03:52As for the deficit, economists proposed a fork, going from 5% to 5.5% of GDP in 2025.
04:00In June, the Bank of France predicted a deficit of 4.8% in 2025.
04:09And yet another summit for Bitcoin.
04:11This Monday, December 16, the most famous cryptocurrency rose to a new high.
04:16Around 11.30 am this Monday, Bitcoin rose 3.03% to $104,419.69
04:26after reaching $106,493.43 at night.
04:32In the early afternoon, it reached $103,608.
04:37Earlier this month, the digital currency had exceeded the historical $100,000 level,
04:42propelled by the perspective of policies in favor of the cryptocurrency sector,
04:46promised by the American president, Donald Trump.
04:49The trend today is more particularly explained by the announcement of the imminent arrival
04:55of the American software company MicroStrategy Computer in the Nasdaq 100 index on December 23.
05:02As a reminder, this index brings together the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq.
05:08This information would therefore push connoisseurs to bet on this cryptocurrency at this time.
05:16And that's the end of this economic newspaper.
05:19Very good follow-up of programs on the media.
