Moroccan Govt. announces 08- 2012 economic strategy

economics minister Salaheddine Mezouar

Casablanca - Economy and Finance minister, Salaheddine Mezouar, unveiled the main aspects of the 2008-2012 strategy for socio-economic development to cope with the current global economic situation.


Speaking at a conference on "the current economic situation and the 2008-2012 prospects," Mezouar said despite a gloomy global economy that is characterized by soaring prices of raw materials and energy, notably oil, Morocco continues to achieve major steps forward at all levels.

The North African country needs an innovative private sector to reduce the unemployment rate and poverty rate that currently stands at 21% of the total population, he said.

Highlighting the economic prospects of Morocco in 2008, the minister assured the economic players that inflation will remain under control in a range of 2%, the budget deficit will be reduced to 3% of GDP, and global economic growth will reach 6 ,8%.

Iberia's Air Nostrum announces new flights from Spain to Tangier and Casablanca

Madrid - Spanish low-cost air company "Air Nostrum", Iberia's subsidiary, will launch new air routes linking Malaga and Barcelona to Tangier (North) and to Morocco's economic capital, Casablanca, the company announced on Wednesday.

These new air routes are part of Air Nostrum's ambition to contribute to developing trade relations between the two countries and giving impetus to bilateral exchanges as regards the social, cultural and touristic fields, wrote the same source.

Property market still bullish in Morocco




Tangier is one of six Moroccan locations identified by the government to boost visitors from six million annually to 10m by 2011. There will be 600 miles of new roads and a 24-mile tunnel linking Tangier to Punta Palomas in Spain, 25 miles west of Gibraltar. There is now a daily hydrofoil from Malaga and car ferries take only 35 minutes from Tarifa.

Tangier is like an unspoilt Spanish city, but is slightly further south so even sunnier. There is plenty to do, too, and there is little sign that this is a Muslim country.


There are plenty of traditional riads, each built around an ornate courtyard, while outside the main town there is a major redevelopment of the coast. Part of this is the 2,500-home Tinja scheme. "These homes can be used throughout the year because of the good climate and facilities," says Majid Bennouna of Emaar, the Dubai-based developer.

Stephen Moss of the Hideaways Club, which offers fractional ownership of homes across the Mediterranean and has two properties in Morocco, says: "There is winter sun from September to April. A range of activities allow for different trips throughout the year, from trekking or skiing in the Atlas Mountains, to the history, culture and shopping opportunities in Marrakesh.


luxury developments on Tangier Atlantic coast nearing completion

"Being able to use the property during the year has a number of advantages," he adds. "For instance, you are not obliged to pay peak rates for plane tickets - and you are not restricted to a certain time of year to visit."

Government figures show that that since property became such an important part of Morocco's agenda for economic diversification and expansion, foreign direct investments have reached 0.91 billion U.S. dollars - from 245 million dollars back in 2002.

There has also been an almost 33% increase in the numbers of jobs in the construction industry in the same period.
Tangier a property investment hotspot close to Europe

Real estate agents report that the numbers of investment buyers have increased. The Marrakech property market, for example, has seen a growing influx of French, Spanish, American, Russian, Belgian, Italian, Kuwait, UAE, and British property investors, eager to cash in on this emerging market.

Land prices are also soaring. Since 2004 land prices have increased by 2% in areas like Marrakech and Tangier. But buying land is not easy. 'Many pieces of land on which luxury Moroccan properties can be built, are owned by large families or cooperatives and to sell it would require an agreement from every single one of them. It takes a long time, and often doesn't happen,' said a spokesman for Luxury Living in Morocco.



In Morocco, foreigners cannot buy and then resell land. They can only buy land to which they are going to add value. They can do this by building a residential building or tourist development. Agricultural land is sold to foreign investors together with a binding contract between the developers and the Moroccan local authority.

Tangier To Benefit From New High Speed Rail Link



In a move that is sure to have a positive effect on future prices of Tangier properties, Morocco’s state railway company are planning to invest millions of Euros in a new high speed rail network. Initially, the massive investment project will link the vibrant port city of Tangier to Casablanca which is a major centre for commerce and industry.

The vibrant port of Tangier is an investment hotspot for 2008


Work is scheduled to start this year on the new rail link. When complete prices of Tangier properties to expected to rise due to demand from wealthy citizens of Casablanca looking for second homes in the north of the country. It can be confidently expected that the high speed line will see greater numbers of visitors passing through Tangier’s ferry port, further adding to the local economy.

The company also envisage that the improved transport links to the rest of Morocco will encourage more international corporations to join the growing numbers of businesses locating in Tangier free zone, thus further fuelling the demand for quality new-build Tangier properties.

This is the first phase of a project costing 100 billion Moroccan Dirhams (10 billion Euros). The project aims to increase rail usage from its present level of 52 million passengers, to 133 million by 2030.

According to Morocco’s state railway company (ONCF) Director Strategy & Development, Azzedine El Amraoui, the new line is required to increase Morocco’s network capacity and tackle congestion on existing routes.

He went on to explain: “Building these lines for high speed operation will improve the network’s competitiveness and support the increasing demands for mobility in a sustainable way”. When complete, the 1500 km network would comprise two main corridors: The Atlantic route connecting Tanger, Casablanca and Marrakech with Agadir and Laâyoune, and the Maghreb line from Rabat to Fès, Oujda and potentially Alger. El Amraoui continued: “The new rail lines will improve links between the north and south of the country, encourage economic development and support the tourist industry, as well as facilitating international integration”.

Construction work on the Tangier – Casablanca section of line is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2009, with the first two sections of 320km route totalling 370km to be completed by 2015.
The introduction of a high speed line will cut the Casablanca - Tangier journey time from 5 hours to 2 hours 10 min. The new line is expected to handle 8 million passengers per year.

King Mohammed VI of Morocco and Princess Lalla Salma with son Moulay Hassan


King Mohammed VI and family in January 2008

A photo from January 2008 of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, 44, his wife Princess Lalla Salma, 29, and their son Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, 4 ½, welcomed King Abdullah II, 45, and Queen Rania of Jordan, 37, on an official visit to Morocco. Mohammed VI and Lalla Salma also have daughter, Princess Lalla Khadija, 11 months. The prince and princess are the first children of the Moroccan royal family whom the media are allowed to photograph.

The artistic magic of Tangiers remains - you just got to find it




Tangier has long captivated writers and artists, from Matisse to Burroughs. Stephen Emms from the Guardian goes to see if that artistic spirit lives on in the 'city of dreams'

Samuel Pepys, quite definitely, was not a fan: only Hell itself was worse. Neither was Mark Twain, who desired to leave next day. But for dozens of artists and writers, from Henri Matisse to Paul Bowles, Tangier, on the corner of Africa and Europe, the Atlantic and the Med, has possessed a je ne sais quoi. Its raffish reputation may have dried up since being reclaimed by Morocco in 1956, after decades as an international zone, but, in 2008 is a cultural renaissance again rumbling through the 'city of dreams'?



Tangier is a place to stroll in, not sightsee – there's even an Idler's Terrace (Terrasse des Paresseux), where strollers gaze out at the hypnotic blue beyond – and drifting through the labyrinth of the medina, its appeal to artists becomes clear: the smell of mint and fish wafts through the air, kids soar past, three on a pushbike, and, in sloping sun-lit squares, women in red-and-white shawls and wide hats squat on wooden stools selling mud-fresh vegetables.

I reach Café Central in the Petit Soco, its former literary heart, where, today, snake-like music rattles from tinny speakers and blue parasols dance in the wind. Here, William Burroughs would procure trade for the night (homosexuality being legal in the "interzone"), Tennessee Williams penned Camino Real, and rooms could be rented by the half hour. As I take a seat, a wild-eyed man, arms raised, wails the same phrase over and over. Tangier still has an on-the-brink feeling, I think, sipping my mint tea; if you squint, you might even glimpse the grey spectres of Ginsberg and Kerouac in the corner.



Artistic associations abound at Cafes Baba and Dalia in the Kasbah (frequented by the Rolling Stones) and elegant Gran Café De Paris, in the screech and whir of Place De France (Bacon and Capote). But a thunderstorm hits town, and I decide to explore Tangier's bars: the Windmill, Joe Orton's beachside regular, is now a pizza joint, so, as lightning crackles, I head to the Tanger Inn, where, upstairs, Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch – but now the beats are of the house music variety. Nearby Dean's Bar, whose eponymous owner died from a cocaine overdose in 1963, has a brightly-lit "locals only" feel, while cosiest of all is Atlas bar ("from 1928").

But where is Tangier's spirit? "It's all very private," explains Jean-Luc, Swiss-born manager of Hotel Nord-Pinus, high in the Kasbah overlooking the bay. We sit in the top bar, as the morning sun pours in over Adnet chairs, Berber rugs and Lindbergh portraits. "There's still a social scene here," he says, "but it's discreet, at each other's houses."

The Nord-Pinus, along with other renovations, such as the Dar Nour, run by a French gay couple, represent a newer side to Tangier, that of upmarket resort. There has, of course, always been the pricey El Minzah Hotel, favoured by Rita Hayworth, Rock Hudson and Tennessee Williams, but as the taxi driver said outside the enormous new airport: "Tangier, it's changing."


8
The signs are subtle but everywhere. The proposed road tunnel beneath the Straits of Gibraltar to link Tangier with the Iberia peninsular is due for completion in 2011, though few believe it will actually happen. The Grand Soco, once a thriving market to rival Marrakech's Djemma El Fna, but more recently a car park, was last year refurbed as an attractive garden square with fountains. And the food scene, spearheaded by the glam Relais de Paris restaurant, is impressive, with even budget options like the Darna Women's Co-op (off the Grand Soco) offering delicious lunches. Restored riads such as Nord-Pinus and Dar Nour dish up superb salads and local merlan, while the Minzah has long served fine dourade tajines and pastille au lait.

Festivals have sprung up, too, including the very popular annual Tanjazz festival (May 28 – June 1, tanjazz.org) and 4th Annual Literary Conference (May 16-19, paulbowles.org/janeandpaulbowles.html). One couple at the forefront of "new" Tangier are photographer Yto Barrada and her filmmaker husband Sean Gullette (who co-wrote and starred in Pi), who spent seven years renovating the Rif cinema, on the Soco, into the ultra-hip Cinematheque Tanger. "But it's accessible to all," says 36-year-old Barrada, as she shows me the "international zone-era furniture" of its gleaming WiFi cafe. "Screenings cost 15 dirhams (£1) and we've had people in who've never been to the movies before."

Why Tangier? "The mythology still works here," she says, with a smile. "That's how I persuaded my husband back to my hometown." But Yto admits the struggle for culture over commercialism will be slow-fought. "It's a huge transitional period for Tangier: it's about culture, not leisure."



I'm determined not to leave without meeting Madame Hamri, widow of Mohammed Hamri (the "Picasso of Morocco") and one of Tangier's legendary figures. The rain falls in spikes as Jean-Luc leads me through the white-washed corridors of the Kasbah, passing Dar Zero's famous fig tree (Samuel Pepys' home in 1683), and Bowles' former house, where a cat smirks behind an iron grille.

With a huge smile, Blanca Hamri beckons us on to bamboo chairs in her covered courtyard, canvases covering every last inch of wall, lamps on in daylight. Smoking cigarettes, she says: "You come here and you start a new life," she says. "But strange things happen. There's magic."

A 40-year-old divorcee arriving in 1972, New York-born Blanca was seduced by painter Hamri's "screwdriver eyes" in the flower market. Whisked off to a festival in his home village of Joujouka, she met the gang: Brion Gysin, Tennessee Williams, Ted Morgan, Timothy Leary and Burroughs. "And Paul Bowles soon after," she says, before adding diplomatically, "although I'm not a big fan of his writing." As the tea flows, so do the stories: Tennessee Williams liked Tangier, she says, but really he was "a city boy", while Burroughs was "the most charming man". Finally, I'm beginning to feel the spirit of old Tangier.

"It's a city that will give you what you want," she says, as we stand up to leave. "A wonderful sensibility. In the West everyone wants to move forward, but Moroccans are always in the present time. They're pleased with who they are."

The sky has cleared and the pink sun is setting so, to the sound of the muezzin, I head to Café Hafa, beloved of Bowles et al. On its spectacular terrace overlooking the Straits, I watch a cat curling up on the low wall: "He has a raison vivre," says Mohammed, next to me. "He gets food from the kitchen. He suns himself. He lives.'"

I think of Madame Hamri, who, pondering a fresh golden age for the mythical city, took a long drag of her cigarette, and said: "Who knows who's writing away somewhere?"


Thanks to Stephen Emms.

Pierre et Vacance to invest Euro 270 in Morocco


France's Pierre et Vacance Europe's largest operator of vacation resorts will invest Euro 270m in a tourist project in Morocco with a capacity of 10,000 beds.

The investment program includes the building of resorts in the tourist cities of Marrakech and Agadir, and tourist residences and apartments in Tangier, Rabat and Casablanca.

In total, 2,264 units/apartments will be built by 2013, under a memorandum of understanding signed between Europe's largest operator in vacation resorts and the Moroccan government during the 9th ministerial joint meeting held last week in Rabat.






The project will allow for creation of 700 direct and stable jobs, the Tourism Ministry said. During the ministerial meeting, co-chaired by Moroccan PM, Abbas El Fassi and his French peer, François Fillon, the two countries signed 16 tie-ups, including the sale of the multi-mission naval warship, FREMM.

Sight seeing in Tangier




Here is a small selection of some great things to do and see whilst in Tangiers.

The Forbes Museum.

Billionaire magazine publisher Malcolm Forbes built an entire museum out of toy soldiers in his former residence - the Mendob Palace. A collection of over 115,000 lead soldiers that are set up re-enacting major battle like Waterloo to Dien Bien Phû.
You'll see entire armies of tiny soldiers on guard in the showcases and in the gardens 600 statues bearing silent homage to the Battle of the Three Kings.


Cap Spartel

Located just outside Tangiers is the Lighthouse of Cap Spartel, a favourite viewing and picnic point, where you can sometimes see the extraordinary meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea; one turquoise and the other one dark blue



The caves of Hercules.
Located just 14kms west of Tangiers is a place of stunning natural beauty and great archeological significance. This is where the mythical figure, Hercules rested after finishing his 12 labours.
Swimming here can be quite dangerous, the offshore currents can get very strong. If you're not a strong swimmer, it's best to stick to sunbathing or sightseeing.



Roman Ruins at Cotta.
A short distance from the caves you'll see the remains of an ancient Roman town that dates back to the 2nd and 3rd century. After extensive excavation, archeologists revealed several walled sections along with the layout of the Roman town. There are temples, shrines, Roman baths, oils presses and a courtyard where they used to process oil and other products in large vats.

Like many other ancient Roman sites on the coast of Morocco, Cotta specialized in the manufacture of a pungent anchovy paste called "Garrum". It was made from fish guts, but the Romans loved the stuff.
