Goodbye, Akhannouch… The First Cabinet Meeting of the Mansouri Government… What Awaits Moroccans in 2027

The Prime Minister’s Office in Rabat hosted a handover ceremony between outgoing Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and the new Prime Minister, Fatima Al-Zahra Al-Mansouri, in a move that marked a smooth transition and provided an opportunity to review major strategic projects. This event coincided with King Mohammed VI presiding over a cabinet meeting at the Royal Palace in Rabat, dedicated to discussing and approving the general guidelines for the 2027 Finance Bill, which focused on five key priorities, foremost among them restoring purchasing power, integrating youth into the workforce through the 2027–2031 program, and implementing advanced regionalization with a budget of approximately 25 billion dirhams. All eyes will be on Parliament on Monday, October 19, when a joint public session will be held for the Prime Minister to present the government’s program, in accordance with Article 88 of the Constitution. This session marks a decisive milestone in securing the confidence of the House of Representatives and the official transition toward implementing economic and social commitments on the ground, amid widespread public expectations in Morocco regarding addressing rising prices, creating job opportunities, and developing public services.
