Employees, SME’s (Small and medium-sized enterprises), professional activities and taxation were at the heart of the measures agreed on Thursday in Rabat, at the end of the second meeting of the Economic Intelligence Committee (CVE).
In a statement to the press at the end of the meeting, the Minister of Economy, Finance and Administrative Reform, Mohamed Benchaaboun, said that measures were agreed on this occasion and concern the social component for staff in cessation of activity, the companies most affected by the crisis and taxation.
As for employees, who are affiliated to the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), they will receive a monthly lump-sum allowance of MAD 2,000 net, family allowances and benefits from the Compulsory Health Insurance (AMO), he noted, adding that this support will be provided by the Special Fund for the Management of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
These employees will also be able to benefit from the postponement of the repayment of bank loans, namely consumer credit and buyer credit, until June 30, he said.
Concerning the SMEs and liberal professions in difficulty, the minister indicated that the measures concern the suspension of the payment of social security charges until June 30, 2020, the establishment of a moratorium for the repayment of bank loans and leasing until June 30 without payment of fees or penalties and the activation of an additional operating credit line granted by banks and guaranteed by the Central Guarantee Fund (CCG).
