Rabat – Here follows the key points of the presentation given by the first chairman of the Court of Audit, Driss Jettou, on the activities of the financial courts for 2018, before the two Houses of Parliament convened on Tuesday:
- More than 232,339 declarations of assets received by financial courts since 2010, the date of entry into force of this system.
- Increase in 2018 in the number of financial court supervision missions to 274, compared to 160 in the previous two years, in parallel with the diversification of the areas of intervention to cover all vital public sectors.
- The general prosecutor's office at the court prosecuted 114 persons in disciplinary matters and referred eight cases to the presidency of the public prosecutor's office for acts likely to lead to criminal proceedings.
- Regarding the issue of State arrears, the Court of Audit reports on the efforts made in favor of certain public institutions and private sector companies, given that the refunds relating to this tax totaled 35.3 billion dirhams at the end of May 2019.
- The Court of Audit advocates a new vision of public investment which can contribute to balanced and inclusive growth that generates employment opportunities and improves incomes.
- The objective of achieving a debt level of around 60% of GDP by 2021 would be "difficult to achieve", he said.
- The pension system requires decisive intervention to accelerate the pace of reform in order to avoid the depletion of reserves and its negative impact on the sustainability of pension schemes, savings and the financing of the economy.
- The technical deficit of the civil pension scheme of the CMR (Moroccan Pension Fund) reached 5.24 billion dirhams by the end of 2019, after 6 billion dirhams in 2018 and 5.6 billion dirhams in the previous year.
- The management of compulsory health insurance (AMO) suffers from shortcomings relating to governance, coverage of care expenses and the financial equilibrium of the scheme.
- The positioning of the National Health Insurance Agency under the supervision of the ministry of Health does not allow it to fully assume its role in terms of arbitration, regulation and sanction, if necessary, with regard to all the actors of the basic health coverage system.
- The national reference pricing system, although one of the main instruments that determine the relationship between the institutions responsible for coverage and the professionals, has not been revised since the launch of the AMO scheme in 2006.
