The new Moroccan government has committed to tackling exploitative intermediary practices in markets through collaboration with the Competition Council. This initiative, outlined in the government’s program for 2026-2031, will involve establishing a mechanism with appropriate resources and procedures to combat price gouging. The government also plans to strengthen the capabilities of the Competition Council and increase penalties for coordinated exploitative practices and abuse of market power within Morocco. The specific penalties to be implemented will be made public. This action aims to protect consumers and maintain fair competition within the Moroccan economy. The commitment reflects a focus on addressing market imbalances and ensuring a more equitable trading environment in Morocco. This pledge appeared on Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
