Speaking during a press conference that followed the government council’s weekly meeting on Thursday, the Spokesperson responded to the High Commissioner for Planning’s assertion two weeks ago that inflation in the country is the result of domestic factors, and is not imported.
“I am not very impressed by these reports, because their contents differ according to the perception of each institution.”
This indirect response come as the government faces mounting pressure to address rising prices, with many Moroccans struggling to afford essential goods. The government has vowed to take measures to ensure that the public can access essential goods at reasonable prices, but the issue remains a pressing concern for many citizens.
“Inflation is imported, but there are positive indicators of a decline in prices due to the changes that occur at an international level,” he said.
Baitas revealed that ministerial meetings have been scheduled for Friday to discuss the matter further, following a meeting last week attended by ministers from the relevant sectors at the Ministry of Interior headquarters.
He emphasized that in addition to keeping a lid on prices, the government is also working with producers to increase production and ensure essential goods are available to consumers at reasonable prices.
