Prices increase again with school entry

After Moroccan families experienced a hot summer this year, this heat will resume its scorching heat in the pockets of Moroccans, with the start of the school season, due to the increase in a number of consumer goods or services.

Textbook prices and tuition fees are increasing

The first intense battle for the Moroccan citizen is the one he will fight next week with the start of the school year, as it is expected that school textbooks will see an increase during this season, as well as everything related to the requirements of studies, also include registration and insurance in private institutions.

The increases that the actors attribute in particular to the increase of 10 dirhams in the price of a bottle of gas were decided by the government in an incidental manner. Certainly, this first increase in butane gas caused an endless spiral of increases, undermining the financial balances of economically fragile families,

In this context, the price of “Fenopro” flour increased this week by more than 12 dirhams for a 5 kilo bag, compared to 48 or 50 dirhams previously, and by more than 5 dirhams for the same quantity of ordinary fino flour, compared to 45 to 50 dirhams.

The price of vegetables, on the other hand, is likely to increase due to market and climate fluctuations depending on the seasons.

New increases have affected the prices of many basic materials and services, with the inflationary spiral resuming its upward trend and flaring up again and again, putting a strain on the purchasing power of the Moroccan consumer, which has already weakened significantly, as the prices of many products and services have increased during this week without valid reasons.
