The Finance and Economic Development Committee of Morocco’s House of Representatives approved early Wednesday the first part of the 2026 Finance Bill, marking a key step in the legislative process for the government’s financial roadmap for the coming year.
The bill was adopted by a majority vote, with 24 deputies in favor and 10 against. The committee examined a total of 350 proposed amendments during its session, which was attended by Deputy Minister for the Budget Fouzi Lekjaa. According to official figures, 325 amendments were submitted by opposition parties, 23 by the parliamentary majority, while two came directly from the government.
During the general discussion of the draft bill, Minister of Economy and Finance Nadia Fettah underlined that the new Finance Bill reflects “a new phase in Morocco’s economic momentum,” shifting from post-crisis recovery to a model focused on sustainable growth and diversification of wealth creation.
Fettah emphasized that Morocco has succeeded in maintaining macroeconomic stability while advancing its financial sovereignty through continued tax reforms, more efficient public spending, and improved resource mobilization. These measures, she noted, have helped reduce public debt and consolidate the country’s credibility with international institutions — a factor that has further enhanced Morocco’s attractiveness to foreign investors.
The 2026 Finance Bill, once fully adopted, is expected to reinforce the government’s strategy aimed at accelerating investment, promoting inclusive growth, and consolidating fiscal discipline amid evolving global economic challenges.
