Human resources training is essential to ensure continuity in public finance governance, the Kingdom's General Treasurer, Mr. Noureddine Bensouda, affirmed on Sunday in Rabat.
Speaking at the closing of the 4th edition of the international colloquium on public finances, held under the theme "The new governance of public finances in Morocco and France: what perspectives?", Mr. Bensouda stressed that the central lesson learned over these two days remains the training and preparation of future executives who will manage and steer public finances in a rapidly changing environment.
He also indicated that this meeting allowed for the sharing, pooling, and capitalization of key ideas and cross-exchanges on the issue of public finance governance.
For his part, the mayor of Rabat, Mr. Fathallah Oualalou, who chaired the 4th roundtable on the theme "What reform of regional and local finances", noted that the reform of local finances in Morocco must take into account the need to consolidate the macroeconomic framework, the reflections undertaken on regionalization, and the tax reform adopted by parliament in 2007.
Morocco, characterized by political, cultural, and spatial diversity, has in recent years paid more attention to the regions, he said, adding that the main challenges for the regions remain improving financial resources, advancing decentralization, and upgrading human resources.
For his part, the president of the International Foundation for Public Finance (FONDAFIP), Michel Bouvier, emphasized the financial autonomy of local authorities, noting that this is an autonomy in managing tax revenues and state transfers, followed by a posteriori control.
Local financial governance is relative to space and time at the national and international levels, Mr. Bouvier estimated, adding that local governments are now called upon to meet the challenges of sustained growth in the urbanization of the world's population, demographic changes, and crises.
Organized by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, FONDAFIP, and the European Grouping of Public Finance Research (GERFIP), this meeting was marked by four roundtables dealing with "key instruments of state budgetary reform", "the mobilization of public financial resources", "the reform of public financial controls", and "the reform of regional finances".
