This meeting was an occasion in which the Head of Government recalled the achievements made by the Kingdom in the field of comprehensive financing in connection with the implementation of the Royal Workshops on Social Protection, which calls for the boldest set of financial integration mechanisms for the target groups.
In this regard, the Head of Government touched on the new digital strategy, which is in the final stages of its development, as it will give a strong impetus to the workshops on digitizing public services, including the financial aspect, in parallel with the strides made by the government in simplifying administrative procedures and procedures. 
This strategy will contribute to the promotion of the digital economy and financial services in Morocco, enabling job creation, increasing the added value of services, and enhancing the Kingdom's qualifications as an attractive digital platform for investments.
