Morocco has extended direct fuel support for commercial transport operators after petrol and diesel prices rose for the second time in less than three weeks, increasing pressure on passenger fares and freight costs.

The Ministry of Transport and Logistics said the latest payment would cover the period from August 1 to 15, 2026. Applications will open on August 19 through the government’s Mouakaba digital platform.

The programme covers operators involved in passenger and freight transport, including taxis, buses, tourist transport vehicles and goods carriers.

The government did not disclose the value of the latest payment or the amount each operator would receive.

The new support comes after fuel distributors raised pump prices by about MAD 1, or $0.11, per litre in early August.
