Officials commented on the matter. These discussions, which included key stakeholders such as trade unions, the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), and the Confederation of Moroccan Agriculture and Rural Development, are part of the government’s commitment to fostering institutionalized social dialogue.
The sessions resulted in a series of measures aimed at boosting workers’incomes, enhancing purchasing power, and expanding social protection across both public and private sectors.
A significant development includes a general salary increase of MAD 1,000 per month for civil servants across various public institutions, alongside improved family allowances, promotion quotas, and the minimum wage.
In the public sector, the average net salary has seen a remarkable increase of nearly 29% since 2021, rising from MAD 8,237 to MAD 10,600 by 2025.
The private sector has also witnessed growth, with the minimum wage for non — agricultural activities increasing by 20% and the agricultural minimum wage by 25%.
Furthermore, pension reforms have been initiated, allowing workers with at least 1,320 days of contributions to access retirement pensions, a measure applicable retroactively from January 1, 2023.
The government has also revised income tax, allocating over MAD 7. 6 billion to increase net incomes for various worker categories.
As part of these reforms, the government has committed to ongoing discussions on further tax reform and the potential amendment of the labor law to reduce daily working hours for private security guards.
A national commission has also been established to develop a comprehensive pension reform plan, including a financial assessment of current systems.
The Moroccan government’s dedication to these social agreements and economic reforms is indicative of its commitment to enhancing labor market conditions and the overall well-being of its citizens. While the immediate benefits are apparent, the long-term impact on economic stability and social cohesion is yet to be fully realized.
The Moroccan government’s recent social dialogue achievements mark a significant step towards a more equitable and sustainable society.
As these measures unfold, the nation’s economic and social landscape is poised for a transformative shift, emphasizing the government’s commitment to the betterment of its citizens’lives.
