(ANSAmed) - RABAT, JUNE 25 - The inter-ministerial
commission for investments in Morocco has approved 45 projects
for a total budget of two billion euros. The commission, chaired
by the head of government, Saad Eddine El Otmani, has been
charged with relaunching Morocco's economy after the coronavirus
emergency. With these new projects, authorities are hoping to
create some 8,000 jobs both directly and indirectly. One-third
of investments will go to alternative energies; another third to
the telecommunications sector and the rest will be divided
between trade, tourism, the arts, transport and healthcare.
Meanwhile Morocco is dealing with a surge in cases: 563 new
coronavirus cases for a total of 10,907; a cluster of 90
asymptomatic cases was discovered at Renault's factory in
Tangiers. Rabat and Casablanca are the worst affected areas on
the eve of a new phase starting on June 25 during which some
areas of the country should partially reopen. (ANSAmed)
