00:00Hello and welcome to your economic meeting on Médien.
00:12We start in Morocco, which is convenient for France to build a satellite communication system to serve Africa.
00:20A project that will provide a high-speed Internet service to support the digital transition of the continent.
00:27In this sense, the Moroccan company Bonsat and Thales Alenia Space, a co-company between the Thales and Leonardo groups,
00:35have announced the signing of an agreement protocol for the construction of a Moroccan satellite communication system.
00:41This telecommunication system aims to provide high-speed connectivity to 26 African countries, including 23 French-speaking countries,
00:49and to serve a population of more than 550 million people, spread over an area of 12 million square kilometers.
00:57The agreement protocol was signed during the official visit of Emmanuel Macron to Morocco,
01:02in the presence of Nadiaftah Alawi, Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance,
01:07and Antoine Arman, French Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry.

01:28the Moroccan Minister of Industry and Trade, Riyad Mzour,
01:31highlighted the main strengths of the Moroccan aerospace sector and challenged the participants of the Marrakech Airshow 2024.
01:40This challenge will be met by the 147 companies in the sector,
01:45which carry out an annual turnover of about 22 billion dirhams
01:49and employ 21,000 employees with a local integration rate of 40%.
01:54As underlined by the Minister of Industry and Trade,
01:57the increase in the production capacity of Morocco in this sector has attracted important international partners,
02:04which allows the manufacture of any aircraft component on Moroccan soil.
02:12Riyad Mzour, however, explained that the next step was to reach the complete assembly of the aircraft in the Kingdom.
02:19According to the latest data published by the Moroccan Trade Office,
02:23the aerospace sector recorded revenues of about 11 billion dirhams between January and May of this year,
02:29an increase of 17% compared to the figure of the same period in 2023,
02:34an increase attributed to the increase in sales in the assembly sector.
02:39Industrial activity in Morocco would have recorded an improvement in September 2024 compared to the previous month, according to Banca Al-Marrib.
02:48Production would have increased in all branches,
02:51with the exception of agri-food and leather textiles, where it would have stagnated.
02:56According to the Central Bank, in these conditions,
02:59the rate of use of capacities would have increased by 2 points to reach 79%.
03:04In terms of sales, they would have recorded an increase in all branches,
03:08with the exception of leather textiles, where they would have stagnated.
