Public Investments of 380 Billion Dirhams in 2026 to Enhance Spatial Justice and Support Sustainable Growth
The Kingdom of Morocco plans to allocate a financial envelope of nearly 380 billion dirhams for public investments in 2026, reflecting a clear commitment to establishing spatial justice, expanding access to essential services, and supporting sustainable growth, as reported by the Budget Directorate of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
This investment map encompasses various regions of the Kingdom, from north to south and east to west, through programs and projects targeting vital sectors, including health, education, and water, as well as road, port, airport, and logistics infrastructure. The aim is to ensure that each region benefits from projects tailored to its needs and economic capabilities.
The health sector tops the priority list, with a budget of 42.4 billion dirhams, marking an increase of 9.8 billion dirhams compared to 2025. These funds are intended to support the universal health coverage initiative and accompany the reform of the national health system, in addition to establishing university hospitals in each region, thereby enhancing health service provision and bringing services closer to citizens.
The education sector is also receiving special attention, with plans to create around 4,800 new classrooms, aiming for the universalization of preschool education by the start of the 2026-2027 school year. This will raise the total number of classrooms to approximately 40,000, benefiting over one million students.
The water sector continues to occupy a central position within public investments, with nearly 16.4 billion dirhams allocated, reflecting the priority given to water security and achieving equitable resource distribution amidst increasing climate challenges.
In terms of infrastructure and logistics, the state aims to enhance connectivity and improve the economic attractiveness of regions while reducing transportation costs. Major projects are planned, including improving rail connections to the Port of Nador West Med in the eastern region, expanding the high-speed train line towards Marrakech from the Casablanca-Settat and Marrakech-Safi regions, as well as launching high-quality bus lines in Rabat, Salé, and Temara, and strengthening urban transport fleets in the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region.
The Budget Directorate confirmed that public investment has seen remarkable growth in recent years, recording an increase of 86.8 percent between 2020 and 2025, reflecting the state’s commitment to continuing support for balanced and sustainable national development.
