Morocco’s average net public sector salary will rise to MAD 10,100 ($1,000) per month by early 2026, up from MAD 8,237 in 2021, Minister of Economic Inclusion and Employment Younes Sekkouri said on Wednesday.
Speaking on Labour Day, Sekkouri said the government had raised the public sector minimum wage from MAD 3,000 to MAD 4,500, in line with Royal directives.
He also highlighted major sectoral deals, including a MAD 17 billion package for education, which provided a MAD 1,500 monthly raise for 330,000 staff, and improved allowances for high-performing civil servants.
In the health sector, dialogue led to a MAD 3.5 billion program that increased salaries and occupational risk allowances for nurses, administrative staff, and research professors. A special status for scientific attachés granted them a MAD 1,800 salary raise, backdated to January 2023.
Sekkouri also pointed to government efforts in social reforms, citing the Royal Project for Universal Social Protection. Direct social assistance has reached 3.9 million families with a MAD 29.4 billion budget projected for 2026, while a housing aid program launched this year has drawn 130,000 applications, including many from Moroccans abroad.
