حديث الثلاثاء : المعادن الاستراتيجية والحرجة في المغرب

June 20, 2023

نسلط الضوء في حلقة هذا الأسبوع من برنامج حديث الثلاثاء على الدور المحوري الذي يمكن أن تضطلع به المعادن الاستراتيجية والحرجة في تمكين المغرب من تعزيز سيادته الصناعية وتحقيق أهدافه في مجال الانتقال الطاقي والاستثمار، مع الحرص على احترام المتطلبات الاجتماعية والبيئية لهذا القطاع. يختزن المغرب مؤهلات وإمكانات معدنية هامة، ويتمتع بقطاع منجمي قوي يسهم في الصادرات الوطنية بنسبة تفوق 25% من حيث القيمة، وفي الناتج الداخلي الإجمالي بنسبة تصل إلى 10%، فضلاً عن توفير أكثر من 49000 فرصة عمل وفقًا لآخر تقرير للمجلس الاقتصادي والاجتماعي والبيئي. ومع ذلك، يواجه قطاع المعادن في المغرب عدة تحديات تعيق تطوير منظومة المعادن الاستراتيجية والحرجة. ماذا نعني بالمعادن الاستراتيجية والحرجة؟ كيف يمكن تقييم المنظومة المعدنية في المغرب؟ هل هناك إطار مؤسساتي منظم للأنشطة المرتبطة بالمعادن الاستراتيجية لتعزيز حكامة القطاع؟ وكيف يمكن تعزيز الطابع المستدام لقطاع المعادن في ضوء العملية الوطنية للتثمين من أجل تحقيق تموقع أفضل في سلاسل القيمة؟

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region encloses abundant alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower. The concern is more whether the Arab region will be able to respond to and manage the growth opportunities in this emerging sector. This Policy Brief explores opportunities and chall ...

    In 2016, the countenance of Africa emerged slightly reassured. While global growth has remained fairly dull, with sluggish international trade and economic packages on the continent continuing to fail, the rebound of prices for many commodities along with a sustained investment dynamics have somewhat dispersed the threatening clouds that had obscured its economic horizon in 2015. A slight improvement therefore, but which should not make us forget that the macroeconomic performance o ...

    Chinese investors are increasingly interested in Africa. Some criticize them for privileging mining investments. A 2017 analysis of these investments shows that investments in mining have not been the only ones privileged by the Chinese operators. Many other sectors such as transport and energy have benefited from Chinese investments, much more so than the mining sector, for example. ...

    We argue in this paper that electricity production needs to be multiplied by a large factor in the coming years for East Africa to reach the economic growth rate it deserves after the improvement of its socio-political situation. The rural electrification rate in North Africa as represented for instance by Morocco was higher than 99.50% in the first quarter of 2017 while it was barely 10% in some parts of Western Kenya. We also make the case for hydroelectricity as the adequate ren ...

    Africa is endowed with an abundance of renewable (forestry, water, wind, solar) and non-renewable (extractives, oil, gas, minerals) natural resources. It is estimated that the continent accounts for about 7% of global oil reserves, 7% of natural gas, 20% of land area, 9% of renewable water resources and 17% of forests. The continent is also home to the largest or second largest world reserves of bauxite, cobalt, industrial diamonds, manganese, phosphate rock and platinum group metal ...
