Sources: 12. Developments: 4. The Moroccan Ministry of Transport and Logistics has announced a new phase of direct exceptional support for road transport professionals handling both people and goods. This 30-day installment is a response to rising international fuel prices caused by geopolitical tensions. The government intends to provide this financial aid to stabilize transport service prices and prevent the inflation of consumer goods costs. Registration for the support is set to begin on September 24, 2026, through a dedicated electronic platform. Following a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch in Rabat, the government has decided to continue these direct subsidies to mitigate rising energy costs and maintain current public transport pricing for citizens. Officials stated that the level of support will be adjusted in line with fuel price developments. As of late September, the government has announced an increase in these exceptional direct subsidies for both passenger and freight sectors. During a ministerial committee meeting, the Minister of Transport and Logistics confirmed that subsidy amounts will continue to adjust according to fuel price fluctuations. To maintain market stability, the Ministry of Economy and Finance has committed to mobilizing the necessary financial resources to support affected sectors through the end of the year.
