Starting January 1, 2027, households covered by Morocco’s direct social aid programme will receive at least MAD 600 a month, up from MAD 500, under a draft decree approved by the Government Council in Rabat on Thursday, November 12.
The increase of 100 dirhams, or 20%, applies to the minimum flat-rate allowance. This marks the first step in a gradual schedule, with further rises planned in the following years and the allowance set to reach MAD 1,000 in 2031, according to the communiqué issued after the meeting.
Draft decree No. 2.26.838 amends decree No. 2.23.1067 of December 1, 2023, which implements law No. 58.23 establishing the direct social aid scheme. The communiqué was issued by the Ministry of National Territory Planning, Urban Planning, Housing and City Policy, which serves as government spokesperson.
Head of Government Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri chaired the meeting and reaffirmed that protecting purchasing power remains the executive’s top priority.
She also pointed to the interministerial committee set up to monitor price trends, and said the exceptional support for road transport professionals would continue.
