This is in essence what the credit insurance specialist, the Coface Group, revealed at a press conference in Casablanca on May 3. The failures have jumped by 25% compared to 2015, affecting nearly 7,500 companies. This trend accelerated from October 2016 to January 2017 with a peak of 52% increase in defaults in the first month of this year, according to Coface. An acceleration caused mainly by the seasonal difficulties of the construction sector as well as by the unpaid and late payments which have multiplied especially among the public contractors."

The groups of the majority emphasized that the 2017 PLF is in line with the priorities of the government program and in line with the major reforms undertaken by the Kingdom to strengthen the development, in particular through the establishment of balance between the different social groups, the reduction of the unemployment rate and the promotion of the economy."
