Rabat - Morocco’s economy is expected to grow by 3,7%, Deputy Minister for Budget Fouzi Lekjaa said on Friday as he presented the general framework of the Moroccan government’s Finance Bill (PLF) for 2024. However, the deputy minister highlighted that these forecasts are contingent on a number of factors and may be subject to downward revision if the global economic situation deteriorates further. He cited factors such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, explaining its ramifications could impact commodity prices, global production, and supply chains, as well as tighter monetary conditions -- all of which may necessitate revisiting the growth projections. Delving into the specifics, Lekjaa outlined the three-year budget programming forecasts for the period of 2024-2026. According to these projections, Morocco’ gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2024, followed by growth rates of 3.6% in 2025 and 4% in 2026. In terms of the agricultural sector, the value added (VA) is forecasted to rise by 5.9% in 2024, with subsequent growth rates of 4.1% in 2025 and 4.8% in 2026. On the other hand, the non-agricultural value added is projected to increase by 3.4% in 2024, 3.6% in 2025, and 3.9% in 2026. Read also : Moroccan Economy Improves by 3.5% in First Quarter of 2023 To support these estimations, the assumptions underlying the projections mentioned in Lekjaa’s presentation also consider an inflation rate limited to 3.4% in 2024, followed by a lower rate of 2% in both 2025 and 2026. These economic projections provide insight into the government’s expectations for Morocco’s future economic performance. As with any forecasts, they are subject to various external factors and global developments that may necessitate revisions. Given this, Lekjaa concluded, the government will closely monitor the global economic situation and adapt its plan accordingly to ensure sustainable growth and stability in the national economy.

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) has changed its pet adoption fees in hopes of more animals finding their fur-ever homes and to help clear space as the shelter nears capacity. The MACC is waiving and lowering pet adoption fees for 2024, including: The change comes as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey invests an additional $600,000 in funding for MACC this year. At least $250,000 will go towards shelter renovations, $90,000 for the food, materials, and supply budget, and $365,000 for hiring additional staff. "About nine years ago, my life changed when I brought home my cat Ronda from MACC," said Mayor Frey. "I know firsthand the life-changing impact animal shelters can have on the pets they serve and the families they go home with. MACC does an incredible job taking care of our furry and very loveable residents. I’m proud to support their ongoing efforts with more than $600,000 in additional funding this year." The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours until 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Porsche unveiled the latest evolution of the Panamera last fall, sporting crisper styling, an updated cabin, and a horsepower boost. Initially Porsche only showed the base V-6 model and the range-topping V-8–powered Turbo E-Hybrid, but now hybrid powertrains are spreading across the lineup. The V-6–powered Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and 4S E-Hybrid will reach dealerships this fall and will slot in below the Turbo-badged model. A revised turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 is at the heart of the new E-Hybrid models. While the V-6 produces 348 horsepower in the non-hybrid base Panamera, the 4 E-Hybrid's six-cylinder only contributes 300 horses. But adding in the oomph from the hybrid system's electric motor sees output rise to a total of 463 ponies and 479 pound-feet of torque. This is an increase of 8 hp over the outgoing 4 E-Hybrid, and Porsche claims the 2024 model will zip to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Upgrading to the 4S E-Hybrid, however, squeezes all 348 hp out of the turbo V-6. Paired with the electric motor—which produces up to 187 hp—sees the 4S E-Hybrid churn out a brawny 536 hp total, which is actually down by 16 over the old 4S E-Hybrid. Torque remains at 553 pound-feet, so the 4S E-Hybrid still makes the 60-mph dash in a claimed 3.5 seconds. The 180 mph top speed is 6 mph higher than that of the non-S model. Supplying the juice to the electric motor is the same new battery found in the Turbo models, which has a 21.8-kWh capacity. Porsche says the 11-kW onboard AC charger can replenish the battery in two and a half hours. The e-motor, which can also put out up to 331 pound-feet of torque, is situated in the housing of the PDK transmission where it is integrated into the same oil circulation, helping save weight. The E-Hybrid can run in full electric mode until the battery reaches a certain level of charge, and we estimate it will earn an EPA-rated electric range of around 30 miles. The Panamera then switches into Hybrid Auto mode, which blend the gas engine and electric motor as needed based on driving behavior and navigation. An E-Hold mode preserves the battery level while the E-Charge setting uses the engine—while above 34 mph—to recharge the battery up to 80 percent. Of course, since this is a Porsche, there are also Sport and Sport Plus modes. All new Panameras come with standard two-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers. The E-Hybrid can also be fitted with Active Ride, which controls a hydraulic pump at each damper using the 400-volt electrical architecture in order to minimize body movements from bumps and maintain a level ride during quick driving. It also allows the car to raise and lower, which eases with ingress and egress. Visual differences between the models are subtle. The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid wears standard 19-inch wheels with black brake calipers, which the 4S E-Hybrid gets 20-inch wheels, red calipers, and silver tailpipes. On the 4S, the brake calipers—which are 10-piston units—can also be had in acid green and black, and Porsche carbon ceramic composite brake rotors can also be fitted if you opt for the 21-inch wheels. The new E-Hybrid models do not come cheap. While a base V-6 non-hybrid Panamera costs $101,550, the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid starts at $117,495. That's around $7K more than the 2023 E-Hybrid, while opting for the 4S E-Hybrid takes the base price to $128,795. Orders will open at the end of March in anticipation of deliveries beginning this fall.

The Ministry of Finance will submit a Tax Policy Strategy for Egypt 2024/2030 document to the National Dialogue next week, Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait said in a statement on Monday. Maait noted that this strategy does not include any new burdens on investors, any increase in tax rates, or adjustments in the tax brackets, adding that the new income tax law will be an incentive for economic sectors. Under the directives of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, the second round of the National Dialogue will kick off Sunday, with a focus on the serious economic issues that Egypt is experiencing. New amendment for General Finance Law The cabinet has approved the amendment of certain provisions of the Unified General Finance Law and referred it to the House of Representatives for discussion next week, the minister stated. This amendment introduces what is called the "general government budget," to achieve the budget comprehensiveness principle, according to Maait. The general government budget includes the general state budget and the budgets of 59 economic entities in terms of revenues and expenditures, he explained. “This will be implemented gradually over five years, starting with the presentation of the general government budget during the upcoming FY2024/2025, including the general state budget and the budgets of 40 economic entities, after the approval of the House of Representatives,” said Maait. Moreover, he added that for the first time, after the issuance of this legislative amendment, the government will present 61 budgets, which are the general government budget, the budgets of 59 economic entities, and the general state budget. This amendment includes a fundamental change in the general state finances that contributes to improving financial indicators, according to the minister. The revenues of the general state budget along with 59 economic entities amount to about EGP 5 trillion, while the revenues of the general state budget alone amount to EGP 2.1 trillion, which leads to unrealistic indicators. Controlling debt Maait also stated that the concerned authorities are currently setting a debt ceiling for budget agencies and economic entities, to be determined annually and not to be exceeded except after the House of Representatives’ approval. “This comes in line with the state's efforts to put the debt-to-GDP ratio on a sustainable downward path,” he said. He added that they are working on extending the average maturity of the budget agencies' debt to four years in the medium term, instead of the current three years, to reduce the need for rapid financing. In this regard, the minister noted that Egypt’s debt-to-GDP ratio decreased from 103 percent in June 2016 to about 80 percent of the GDP in June 2020. Still, it started to rise again driven by the high inflation and rising interest rates, reaching 95.7 percent in June 2023. Maait also emphasized the government's commitment to continuously update the debt strategy annually to reduce its ratio and service to the domestic product. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded its mission to Egypt earlier in February, through which the two sides had reached a staff-level agreement for pushing forward the ongoing $3 billion loan deal, besides a possible additional financing package. This comes amid the severe repercussions of both the war in Gaza and in Ukraine on the Egyptian economy. Supporting exporters The government continues its supportive journey for the export sector despite all internal and external challenges, the minister said. “We are launching a new phase of the ‘Instant Cash Payment’ initiative to support exporters, with around EGP 54 billion being disbursed to exporting companies since the implementation of the initiatives to settle the outstanding exporters’ arrears in October 2019,” Maait added. The minister indicated that the General State Treasury bears the value of the tax on built properties utilized in carrying out certain industrial and productive activities, representing 21 economic sectors for 3 years until the end of 2026, amounting to EGP 1.4 billion annually. Egypt plans to raise its annual exports to global markets to $100 billion annually. https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContentP/3/517994/Business/Tax-Policy-Strategy--to-be-submitted-to-Egypt’s-Na.aspx

Microsoft is teasing the potential for unique Xbox hardware in the future and a powerful next-gen console. Four previously exclusive Xbox games are officially coming to the PS5 and Nintendo Switch soon, and Microsoft wants to reassure Xbox fans that it’s still very much invested in the future of its platform and hardware. In an official Xbox podcast today, Xbox president Sarah Bond teased that Microsoft will deliver “the largest technical leap” with the next-generation Xbox: We’ve got more to come. There’s some exciting stuff coming out in hardware that we’re going to share this holiday. We’re also invested in the next-generation roadmap. What we’re really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions that they’re building. Speaking to The Verge, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer went a step further, teasing that the Xbox hardware teams are thinking about building different kinds of hardware. “I’m very proud of the work that the hardware team is doing, not only for this year, but also into the future,” says Spencer. “[We’re] really thinking about creating hardware that sells to gamers because of the unique aspects of the hardware. It’s kind of an unleashing of the creative capability of our hardware team that I’m really excited about.” Perhaps that unique hardware is an Xbox handheld. “We see a lot of opportunity in different types of devices, and will share specifics on our future hardware plans as soon as we are ready,” says Microsoft in an Xbox blog post today. There have been persistent rumors of an Xbox handheld, and Spencer has been liking posts on X that mention the possibility of this hardware. “I’m a big fan of handhelds,” says Spencer. “I’m a big fan, but nothing to announce.” He does admit that there’s still a lot of work to do on the Windows side for handheld gaming PCs. “One of the weak points in the experience on a ROG or the Lenovo [Legion Go] is Windows,” says Spencer. “How Windows works on controller input only on that kind of DPI, on a smaller eight- or seven-inch screen. That’s a real design point that our platform team is working with Windows to make sure that the experience is even better.” Before the next-generation Xbox and potentially even a handheld, it sounds like the leaked discless Xbox Series X and new controller might still be a thing. “We have a robust and innovative multi-year hardware roadmap including more console and controller options for you this holiday,” says Microsoft in a blog post. “Xbox players will know that their games are built to maximize the latest features of our hardware and services.” https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/15/24073723/microsoft-xbox-next-gen-hardware-phil-spencer-handheld

On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that's a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we've gathered the best PC games you can play right now and a running list of the 2024 games that are launching this year. Release:‌ February 15 Developer:‌ Experience, Ghostlight LTD The first Death Mark game was a gratifyingly odd Japanese horror, so I was surprised to see this sequel release last week: I hadn't known it was in development. It's a visual novel with first-person point 'n' click adventure sleuthing elements, though this new instalment adds a small amount of exploration thanks to its side-scrolling navigation. The protagonist is a Spirit Doctor sent to the fancy Konoehara Academy to investigate some pesky supernatural visitations. What follows—if it's in any way like the first Death Mark—is an atmospheric and occasionally disturbing story with a really, really gorgeous art style. This Early Access tycoon sim is about building and running a newspaper in early 20th century New York. Once you've got a daily out on newsstands, it's time to decide what goes in the paper, what gets left out, and whose agenda you're going to disseminate—whether opportunistically or by force. Which is to say that if you publish something the mafia doesn't like, for example, that might have consequences. Whether playing as a flagrantly unethical publisher or as a truth-dedicated paragon, News Tower still has you picking and choosing from various 1930s news stories and space is limited. This Early Access build includes the period 1930 to 1932; the final build will go all the way up to 1939. Long in Early Access, this stylish open world skater has finally hit 1.0 and it looks great, especially if you loved Jet Set Radio and Rollerdrome. Neon Tail is similarly about skating on rollerskates, not a skateboard, and there are ways to gain "strange super powers" to make your trips around the neon-hued Bluepulse City more dramatic. Oh, and there are aliens, so getting rid of those with guns and various bizarre melee attacks while moving balletically around on wheels is also on the menu. Looks like a lot of fun. Release:‌ February 15 Developer:‌ Squidbit Works 8-bit platformers with grainy dark fantasy pixel art are among my very favourite things, so of course I'm including Lords of Exile this week. It's basically an old school Castlevania instalment (back when they were linear), but if you're a bit younger it may be more useful to reference Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. There are eight levels, two playable characters, a boss rush mode and more annoying enemies with hard-to-hit movement patterns than you can wave a katana at. Release:‌ February 17 Developer:‌ FLEB The name seems self-explanatory and not particularly promising, but this free puzzler offers up not just 20 simple mazes but 20 new twists on mazes. One maze needs to be folded in a certain way to be completable, another has destructible walls, and yet another puts you in control of the maze itself, repositioning around the navigating dot. It's free, takes about two hours to complete, and is sitting on an "overwhelmingly positive" ranking on Steam. Seems like a no-brainer. Shaun Prescott is the Australian editor of PC Gamer.
