By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Le Matin
Morocco's 2026-2031 government programme notably adopts commitments from the Authenticity and Modernity Party, including monthly compensation of up to 100 dirhams for eligible households' electricity bills and a minimum pension of 3,000 dirhams. Le Matin compared the measures presented to Parliament with the governing parties' programmes, identifying commitments retained and those dropped in the name of realism and budget sustainability.
Morocco's government programme for the 2026-2031 legislature includes several quantified commitments from the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), including a minimum pension of 3,000 dirhams in all schemes, reports Le Matin. The PAM is the party leading the governing coalition.
Measures included also comprise compensation of up to 100 dirhams a month for the electricity bills of eligible families' primary residences, as well as raising direct social assistance from 500 to 1,000 dirhams by the end of the term. The programme also provides for a 2 billion dirham fund for Amazigh affairs and a permanent ministerial commission attached to the head of government.
The youth section takes figures from the PAM's election programme: 2.9 million young people aged 15 to 29 are not in employment, education or training, while unemployment reaches 29.2% among 15- to 24-year-olds. The government aims to provide 100,000 first professional experiences a year, or 500,000 over five years, and plans to expand apprenticeships to 150,000 or 200,000 beneficiaries. It also intends to support 60,000 businesses and develop legal labour mobility through agreements with countries facing labour shortages.
The programme was presented by Fatima-Zahra El Mansouri, head of the Moroccan government, on 19 October. It follows the presentation of Morocco's 2026-2031 programme, after the formation of the government announced on 16 October.
