Citizen Budget
In recent years, Morocco is in the process of public finance reform, mainly through the implementation of the provisions of the Organic Law on the Finance Act, so as to establish the management of public policies based on the principles of transparency, performance and strengthening the quality of public services.
This process culminated in the achievement of significant progress in the results of the Open Budget Survey for 2017; ranking Morocco 2nd in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in terms of budget transparency.
The achievement of this progress is due, on the one hand, to the application of transparency measures dictated by the Organic Law on the Finance Act; and on the other hand, to the efforts made by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance to disseminate information on public finances, as well as the publication of the Citizen Budget and the continuous improvement of its content, making it possible to offer to citizens a summary and simplified presentation of public policy data.
This edition highlights, in a clear and simplified way, the provisions of the Finance Act, the macroeconomic hypotheses, the main proposed tax measures, the allocation of the expenses and the breakdown of the revenues according to their origin as well as the presentation of the main sectorial strategies, with particular emphasis on those that strongly and directly impact citizens' lives, in particular, education, health, employment, agriculture and drinking water.
