00:00Hello and welcome to your Economic Crossroads on Medi-1.
00:12We start in Morocco with an amendment to Law 1333 relating to the mining sector
00:17and still with the Secretary General of the Government for final adjustments.
00:22The new motion wants to better value resources and also involve the SMEs
00:26in the prospecting and exploitation efforts.
00:29Via its website, the motion has been submitted to the general public for some time
00:35where it has sought several criticisms, particularly from operators in the sector.
00:40The reproaches include the draconian conditions imposed
00:44and which can exclude SMEs from obtaining research permits or exploitation licenses.
00:49It is also a question of ensuring safety in the workplaces and preserving the environment.
00:54The mining sector accounts for an average of 10% of Morocco's GDP.
00:59The Kingdom benefits from a significant wealth in this area.
01:02In addition to phosphates, it has many deposits that are poorly exploited or undervalued.
01:08Still in Morocco, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
01:11has just approved a new green financing programme.
01:14With 250 million euros, the MIGEF aims to support medium-sized ecological investments
01:21via loans granted to local banks that will redistribute them to Moroccan companies.
01:26Co-financed in part by Canada, this programme already provides a line of financing of 30 million euros
01:31in favour of the BMCI, the first partner bank of this initiative.
01:35The funds are used for investments related to renewable energies,
01:39to industrial energy efficiency, to ecological buildings,
01:43to the energy appreciation of waste, to adaptation to climate change and to the circular economy.
01:49The projects on renewable energies will be upheld at 20 MW of installed capacity
01:54and those on non-renewable energies will be upheld at 15 million euros.
01:59Since 2012, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
02:03operates in the southern and eastern part of the Mediterranean Basin.
02:07Out of a total of 24 billion euros of investments approved to date,
02:11more than 5.1 billion euros have been allocated to Morocco.
02:16In the national news, Hydrogile, a subsidiary of INOVX,
02:19has obtained a 30 million euro subsidy from the Power2X Development Fund
02:24to accelerate the development of the JORV Hydrogen Platform.
02:27This project aims to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2026,
02:31joining the OCP Group's strategy for more sustainable and low-carbon production.
02:36Developed by Hydrogile for the OCP Group, the JORV Hydrogen Platform
02:41aims to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2026.
02:46This project aims to produce 1 million tonnes of green ammonia by 2027
02:53and 3 million by 2032.
02:55Ammonia plays a central role in fertiliser production,
02:58but its conventional production remains heavily carbonised.
03:02Thanks to the exploitation of green hydrogen,
03:04the JORV Hydrogen Platform aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint
03:09of the food chain of the Hungarians,
03:11consolidating the OCP Group's commitment to sustainable agriculture
03:16and energy transition.
03:18In other national news,
