The CGEM is “strongly mobilized and committed” in this large-scale project, which constitutes a social and societal revolution, Alj told MAP.
This royal project, whose budget amounts to 51 billion dirhams (MMDH) per year, is also a lever for the integration of the informal sector into the national economic fabric, so as to preserve the rights and dignity of the more vulnerable social categories, he noted.
In this regard, the CGEM president underlined that the first agreements signed before HM the King, on the occasion of the launch of this project, "are intended to meet the challenge of the generalization of social protection to all citizens".
It also represents, he said, an important inflection for a balanced development and a social and territorial justice in perfect harmony with the vision of the Sovereign related to the new model of economic and social development.
HM King Mohammed VI chaired, Wednesday at the Royal Palace of Fez, the launching ceremony of the implementation of the project of generalization of social protection and the signing of the first related agreements.
This Royal project, which will initially benefit farmers, craftsmen and professionals, traders and independent service providers subject to the unified professional contribution scheme (CPU), the auto-entrepreneur scheme or the accounting scheme, will be extended, in a second phase, to other categories with a view to ensuring the effective generalization of social protection to all citizens.
