HM King Mohammed VI: Human Element Remains Morocco’s Genuine Wealth

PERSISMA, Rabat – The human element remains Morocco’s genuine wealth and a basic component of the intangible capital of the kingdom, HM King Mohammed VI said.

In a speech to the Nation on the 61st anniversary of the King and People’s Revolution Day, the Sovereign reiterated His call to measure and assess the intangible capital, given the role it plays in the development of all projects and reforms and in the access to the knowledge economy.

HM the King noted, in this respect, that the development process undertaken in many emerging countries has shown a series of negative symptoms, such as a widening gap between social classes. Accordingly, “I am keen to see economic development go hand in hand with the improvement of citizens’ living conditions”, the monarch underlined.

“I do not want a two-speed system in which the rich reap the benefits of growth, thus becoming richer, while the poor are excluded from the development process, thus getting poorer and suffering more deprivation”, the Sovereign said.

The National Initiative for Human Development “is part of this vision and many countries have expressed the wish to take advantage of the experience that has been gained”, HM the King said, adding that “the social components of sectoral schemes are also part of the same vision and are particularly focused on local and human development”.

“The aim has been to confirm the reputation of Moroccans, who are known for their seriousness and devotion to work”, he noted, adding that “they have indeed confirmed their ability to produce and create, when the necessary tools are available and conditions are favorable. They can perform any task, whatever it is, big or small, intellectual or manual, despite the bane of unemployment”.
