00:00Hello and welcome to your Economic Overview on Medi-In.
00:12We start in Morocco, where tourism revenues have reached an unprecedented level of 112 billion dirhams in 2024,
00:19showing a remarkable 43% progression compared to 2019 and an increase of 7% compared to 2023.
00:27During an exceptional year, marked by the reception of 17.4 million tourists, Morocco crossed a new milestone,
00:33a dynamic that particularly stood out in December 2024, with revenues reaching nearly 8 billion dirhams,
00:39an increase of 11% compared to the same period in 2023.
00:44The revenue record shows not only the growing attractiveness of the kingdom,
00:48but also its ability to attract a diverse and demanding clientele,
00:53such as the significant increase of 20% of tourist arrivals in 2024.
00:58Beyond their economic scope, these exceptional results highlight the major impact of tourism
01:04on job creation and local development.
01:07Still in the kingdom, the unemployment population increased by 58,000 in 2024,
01:12reaching 1.64 million unemployed, a 13.3% rate compared to 13% in 2023.
01:20By creating 82,000 jobs in 2024, the Moroccan economy has done better than in 2023,
01:26having recorded a loss of 157,000 jobs.
01:30In fact, job creation in the urban environment reached 162,000 jobs
01:34and paid employment increased by 77,000 jobs.
01:38On the other hand, the rural environment has lost 80,000 jobs,
01:41knowing that unpaid jobs have decreased by 95,000 jobs.
01:45The primary sector, which has been experiencing difficult conditions in recent years
01:49due to chronic drought, is the main source of job losses.
01:53This increase in unemployment is due to a decrease in the rate of activity of the working age population.
01:59It has gone from 43.5% to 43.6% a year earlier.
02:05In other words, if the inactive population had not increased,
02:08unemployment would have progressed more strongly given the limited number of job creations.
02:14The unemployment rate has declined to 37.7% after 38% in 2023,
02:19which means that 62.3% of Moroccans are unemployed.
02:25In other national news, in 2024, 48% of the occupied assets have no diploma,
02:32which is a barrier to their inclusion in qualified and highly valued jobs.
02:37Moreover, 32.9% have an average diploma and only 19.1% of them have a higher diploma.
02:44This reality directly influences the sectoral distribution of employment.
02:49Unemployed workers are mainly concentrated in non-paid sectors such as agriculture and construction.
02:56Also, only 30.6% of the occupied assets benefit from a medical coverage linked to their employment.
03:03This proportion is much higher in urban areas, with 42.4%, than in rural areas, with 11.7%.
03:10The sectors best covered are industry, with 49.2%, and services, with 42.3%.
03:17However, the rates remain very low in construction, with 13.2%, and agriculture, with 7.5%.
03:24Concerning the contractualisation of employment, 52% of employees have a formal contract,
03:30while 9.2% are under contractualisation.
03:33This trend illustrates the structural challenges of the Moroccan labor market,
03:37the strong precariousness, the lack of social protection, and the persistent inequalities
03:42between urban and rural areas call for profound reforms,
03:45notably in education and the formalisation of employment.
03:49According to the Haut-Commissariat-au-Plon,
03:51the index is set at the production sector of manufacturing industries with oil refining
03:56at a drop of 0.2% in December compared to November 2024.
04:01This drop is the result of a decline in the prices of 0.7% of food industries,
04:060.5% of metallurgy, 0.6% of the textile industry,
04:11and 0.1% of the manufacture of electrical equipment and other non-metallic mineral products,
04:18explains the Haut-Commissariat-au-Plon in its recent report on the index
04:23and the prices of industrial, energy and mining industries.
04:27According to the same source, the prices of the clothing and woodworking industries
04:31and the manufacturing of wood and leather goods respectively increased by 1.3% and 0.3%.
04:38In addition, the indexes for the production of extractive industries,
04:42the production and distribution of electricity,
04:45and the production and distribution of water experienced a stagnation in December 2024.
04:51And finally for Clore, your economic meeting in the kingdom.
04:54Employment affects nearly 6 out of 10 employees.
04:58Employment remains more frequent among active citizen women,
05:02occupied with 84.8% versus 66.8% among men.
05:08In 2024, of the 10,673,000 employees,
05:1238.2% of them reside in rural areas and 20.6% are of female sex.
05:19Young people aged 15 to 34 constitute 34% of the total employment
05:24and nearly 48% of the occupied assets have no diploma,
05:2832.9% have an average diploma and 19.1% a higher diploma.
05:34The services sector employs 49.4% of the occupied assets,
05:38followed by agriculture, forestry and fishing with 26.3%.
05:42Industry contributes 12.6%.
05:46The PTP sector employs 11.6% of the occupied assets.
05:51That's all for today.
05:54Enjoy the rest of the program.
