On June 30th in Marrakech, Morocco’s National Rally of Independents (RNI) unveiled its third major commitment under its economic integration program, a key component of the party’s national outreach campaign. This announcement, following previous pledges aimed at safeguarding purchasing power and enhancing public service quality, underscores RNI’s strategy to create inclusive economic opportunities as the nation prepares for a transformative phase.
Towards Economic Integration
The RNI’s economic integration initiative aims to address unemployment and enhance social protections. Central to this commitment are four vital pillars focusing on job creation, social security, support for seasonal workers, and promoting self-employment. This approach intends to forge a strong link between economic policies and the generation of job opportunities, with a particular emphasis on equity across various regions.
Ambitious Employment Goals
Among the proposed measures, the RNI plans to initiate significant employment dynamics, targeting a reduction in unemployment to below 9% by 2030. To achieve this, the party envisions mobilizing 15 billion dirhams in investments between 2026 and 2031, while increasing the investment rate to 33% of the national GDP. Growth is expected in strategic sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry, and digital economy, particularly in light of upcoming projects associated with the 2030 World Cup and major infrastructure developments, including sea water desalination and new ports.
Strengthening Social Protections
Another key element of the RNI’s strategy is the introduction of a “Return to Work” grant, which would replace the existing unemployment compensation system with a more structured framework. This new system proposes a three-tiered approach to benefits, allowing longer qualifying periods and expanding access for broader demographics, including skilled professionals.
Additionally, the party aims to secure seasonal workers’ rights through comprehensive insurance, retirement benefits, and tailored social security measures. A unique seasonal worker’s card is proposed to accumulate work periods, enabling workers to gradually earn social entitlements.
Empowering Vulnerable Entrepreneurs
Furthering its thrust for economic inclusivity, the RNI suggests establishing a fund for interest-free production loans, aimed at vulnerable groups desiring to launch productive ventures. Key principles include offering loans without collateral, exempting borrowers from interest, and providing ongoing support and training to ensure project success. This initiative seeks to erode barriers to access for broader segments of society, particularly those looking to invest in small-scale, community-oriented enterprises.
The RNI maintains that these initiatives form part of a cohesive vision for making economic integration a cornerstone of Morocco’s developmental model. By intertwining investment strategies with job creation and social protection, the party aspires to expand economic opportunities for all demographics in the country.
