Morocco’s Housing Minister Outlines 3 Billion Dirham Plan to Revive Fez-Meknes Construction Sector

To envisage means to guarantee a "progressive" and "secure" post-Covid-19 restart of construction sites and programs. This is the objective of this meeting, according to the minister who specifies that she intends to "discuss with the actors and professionals of the Fez-Meknes sector the approach adopted to ensure the restart of the sector at the regional level," reports La Map.

Regarding the Fez-Meknes region, Nouzha Bouchareb says she wants to mobilize more than 3 billion dirhams to "support social and development programs, particularly those related to the fight against unhealthy housing, urban upgrading and the enhancement of old medinas."

Mohamed Berrada Rkhami, president of the regional confederation of real estate professionals, said the initiative deserves to be encouraged, because according to him, "this meeting is intended to be a space for exchange on the best means for the restart of real estate, a key sector of the regional and national economy." He will also acknowledge that it is "an opportunity to exchange with all the professionals in the sector on the measures taken by the ministry to manage the emergency phase, as well as those brought by the finance law to boost supply and demand."
