One Party, One Programme, Three Versions

With experience in this field and a head start over the other parties, the RNI programme is undoubtedly the most developed and the earliest to be published, unveiled during the stages from Fez to Marrakech, via Oujda. Three pillars, twelve measures.

Against the backdrop of improving purchasing power for both disadvantaged social groups and the middle class. Indexing social assistance to inflation for 12 million beneficiaries, an education tax credit of 5,000 DH, an increase in the SMIG/SMAG, a unemployment rate below 9% and an investment target of 33% of GDP… are among the measures announced by the party.

Institutional Measures

The programme provides for several measures aimed at reforming and structuring the action of the State and institutions:

• Simplify and modernize the administration.
• Regular monitoring of the quality of public services.
• Introduce a results-based monitoring approach.
• Create specialized oversight bodies, particularly for health and education.
• Accelerate the digitalization of the administration.
• Create one-stop shops (Dar Al Ousra).
• Strengthen territorial governance.
• Strengthen the resources of local authorities.
• Reform public establishments and enterprises.
• Strengthen coordination between government departments.
• Reform the justice system and digitalize procedures.

Economic Measures

Economic integration and recovery constitute a central pillar, with a clear objective of creating jobs:

• Create one million targeted jobs in several sectors.
• Reduce the unemployment rate to 9% and increase the investment rate to 33% of GDP, supported by targeted annual growth of 5%.
• Increase the SMIG to reach 5,000 DH and align the SMAG with the SMIG in the industrial and commercial sectors. Between 2021 and 2025, the government increased the SMIG by 20% (25% for the SMAG).
• Open the medium-voltage electricity market and develop liquefied natural gas, as well as green hydrogen. Households would be able to resell surplus electricity.
• Accelerate major projects to stimulate the territorial economy.

Social Measures

The social state is at the heart of the programme, with measures focused on protection and purchasing power:

• Index the direct social support index to the inflation rate through an automatic adjustment mechanism.
• Create a simplified two-pillar savings account (free precautionary savings and savings for the future blocked for 24 months), supported by the State for informal workers.
• Support the middle class through a tax credit of up to 5,000 DH per year per child to cover school fees.
• Increase medical density from 30 to 45 professionals per 10,000 inhabitants by 2030; complete university hospitals by 2029; introduce the family doctor and a single number (141) for emergencies.
• Replace the job-loss allowance with a “return-to-work bonus”, extended to 12 months (instead of 6), guaranteeing 70% of the reference salary (capped at 4 times the SMIG), with relaxed eligibility conditions.
• Grant seasonal workers (agriculture, tourism, construction, etc.) the same rights as regular employees (AMO, retirement, family allowances).
• Generalize pioneering schools and middle schools by 2028 and pioneering high schools by 2031; provide rural school transport and meals for public preschool and primary education.

Five clear commitments: family protection, purchasing power, the fight against corruption, the defense of public services, and national sovereignty. The anti-corruption component is the most developed, with a call for a specific law prohibiting the accumulation of interests and monopoly positions.

Institutional Measures

The institutional measures mainly aim to reform governance, fight corruption and modernize the administration:

• Move from a system of prior authorization to a system based on specifications with a declaration of compliance.

Economic Measures

The economic measures focus on strategic sovereignty, purchasing power and the transformation of the productive fabric:
