Morocco’s Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah, said the government had prepared cushions in response to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, warning that global uncertainty could rekindle pressure on energy markets and supply chains. Fettah began by placing Morocco’s position within a broader human and political context. The minister emphasized that the government’s role was to anticipate economic fallout should a regional conflict disrupt global energy markets. Energy costs remain a central concern, the minister said, as they directly affect household purchasing power and business competitiveness. For now, however, Fettah stressed that Morocco had not seen any immediate impact from the regional tensions.
