As part of her participation in the launch of the World Bank’s MENAAP Regional Economic Report event under the theme “Jobs and Women: Untapped Talent, Unfulfilled Growth,” Mrs. Nadia FETTAH, Minister of Economy and Finance, delivered an opening speech in which she emphasized the importance of women’s economic and social inclusion as a fundamental economic imperative for enabling Morocco to achieve its growth and prosperity objectives.
In this regard, Mrs. FETTAH stated that the promotion of women’s economic and social inclusion is embedded in the main orientations of the 2026 Finance Bill, whether through consolidating economic achievements and the social State, modernizing key sectors such as health and education, stimulating private investment, and launching new integrated development programs that will strengthen women’s participation in the Kingdom’s economic and social dynamics.
As part of the same event, the Minister of Economy and Finance took part in a high-level panel on the importance of a comprehensive policy framework for women’s participation in the labor market. On this occasion, Mrs. FETTAH highlighted Morocco’s progress in terms of women’s economic and social inclusion, particularly through efforts in the field of education, which have enabled the Kingdom to build a significant reservoir of female human capital.
In this regard, Mrs. FETTAH called on the financial sector and government stakeholders to accelerate legislative reforms and remove social and financial barriers, in order to allow the labor market to benefit from this immense pool of female talent.
