Rabat Extends Direct Support for Transport Professionals Amid Rising Fuel Costs
The Mauritanian government, led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, has announced a continuation of exceptional support for professionals involved in the transportation of goods and people, amidst the ongoing rise in international hydrocarbon prices. This decision comes as part of a strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on the national economy. The ministerial committee responsible for monitoring these repercussions convened recently in Rabat to discuss the economic landscape and make crucial decisions regarding support measures.
In a statement released by the government, it was emphasized that the direct and exceptional support for transport professionals will be adjusted in accordance with the rising costs of hydrocarbons. This move aims not only to ensure that the supply of goods and services remains stable but also to prevent any increase in transport fares for citizens. The government is keen on maintaining public transport services without passing on additional costs to the public, thereby ensuring that everyday transportation remains affordable during these challenging times.
The committee also reassured the public regarding the availability of national energy stocks, which include reserves of butane gas and diesel that can sustain the market for approximately 40 to 60 days. This assurance is particularly significant given the global pressures on energy supplies and the ongoing geopolitical instabilities. The government’s proactive approach reflects its commitment to safeguarding the interests of both consumers and the transport sector.
To facilitate this support, transport professionals are encouraged to submit their applications electronically through the designated platform, mouakaba.transport.gov.ma. This streamlined process allows for efficient processing of requests, ensuring that assistance reaches those in need promptly.
