Morocco: LPG liberalisation

The government is working on the final – and most sensitive – phase of its price liberalisation and subsidy reduction programme, covering butane and sugar, general affairs and governance minister Mohammed Louafa told the lower house of parliament on 8 June. But implementation of the reform “will be the responsibility of the government named following the general election on 7 October”, Louafa said. This saves the current administration courting unpopularity in the four months before polling.
