The 2027 finance bill provides for Casablanca-Settat, home to 7.68 million people, a public investment portfolio covering transport, education, sports facilities, logistics, industry and the environment. The region is the Kingdom’s leading region in economic and demographic weight, according to TelQuel.

The Casablanca-Settat region, which had 7.68 million inhabitants in 2024 compared with 6.86 million in 2014, is expected to benefit from public investment in several sectors under the 2027 Finance Bill, TelQuel reports. The portfolio notably covers transport, education, sports facilities, logistics, industry and the environment.
