The average net monthly salary in Morocco’s public sector will increase to MAD 10,100 (approximately USD 1,010) in early 2026, up from MAD 8,237 in 2021, the Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, Younes Sekkouri, announced on Wednesday.
Sekkouri announced the increase ahead of the International Workers’ Day, a national holiday celebrated every May 1 in Morocco.
The government has already implemented a series of wage adjustments and social reforms under King Mohammed VI’s directives. Most notably, the minimum wage in the public sector will increase by 50%, rising from MAD 3,000 to MAD 4,500. This change is expected to significantly benefit low-income public employees.
Sekkouri also highlighted sector-specific reforms across key public services. In education, a MAD 17 billion budget allocation has addressed long-standing grievances, including a MAD 1,500 pay raise for 330,000 education employees implemented in late 2023.
The healthcare sector benefitted from a MAD 500 salary increase for nurses and administrative staff through a MAD 3.5 billion package, along with expanded hazard pay benefits. Higher education reforms included pay increases for approximately 15,000 university researchers under a MAD 2 billion agreement.
The government has also advanced broader social initiatives tied to Morocco’s social protection expansion. Two major royal programs have reported substantial progress: the Direct Social Aid program is now assisting 3.9 million families with funding set to increase from MAD 27.1 billion in 2025 to 29.4 billion in 2026, while the Housing Assistance program has received 130,000 applications since its January 2024 launch, with about 25% coming from Moroccans living abroad.
These measures are part of broader efforts to improve public sector conditions and support economic development in Morocco.
