Fouzi Lekjaa, Morocco's Minister Delegate for the Budget, stated on Monday before the House of Councillors that Bill 076.19 does not concern the tax data of Moroccans living abroad (MRE). The statement aimed to dispel rumors and reassure the Moroccan diaspora about their financial privacy.
According to verified reports from Moroccan media, Lekjaa emphasized that the bill is focused on other administrative matters and does not grant any authority to access or share tax information of MREs. The clarification comes amid growing concerns among expatriates about potential fiscal surveillance.
The minister's remarks were made during a session dedicated to addressing questions from councilors. No further details about the bill's specific provisions were provided in the available reports.
