Dear Citizens,
In an international environment marked by a resurgence of protectionist policies and the need to secure supply and production chains, I have made the consolidation of national sovereignty and strategic self-sufficiency a cornerstone of our industrial development.
A prime example of this are the food and pharmaceutical industries, which now cover approximately 80% of our national needs.
Furthermore, establishing an industrial and technological base in the areas of defense and cybersecurity will gradually contribute to strengthening defense sovereignty, creating development opportunities, and consolidating our country's position as a regional power in these industries.
For its part, the tourism sector achieved a historic milestone in 2025, with nearly 20 million tourist arrivals, including members of the diaspora.
In addition to economic development efforts, numerous initiatives and human development programs have been carried out, in addition to measures to ensure universal social protection with a view to improving the living conditions of Moroccans and achieving social and spatial justice.
In this regard, I wish to emphasize the need for the effective implementation of integrated local development programs. I will continue to make sure these programs cover all regions, without exception.
