PAM has costed its election program at MAD 350 billion, promising one million jobs and average economic growth of 5% as it bids to lead the government after the September 23 elections.
Unveiling the full program in Rabat on Tuesday evening, the party said it expects part of the bill to be covered by higher revenues generated through growth, alongside the recovery of MAD 300 billion in unpaid taxes and MAD 40 billion in contributions from the regions.
Other funding sources would cover the remainder.
The figures were presented during a nearly four-hour event attended by the party leadership and members of its political bureau, including Budget Minister Fouzi Lekjaa, who joined PAM this summer.
PAM grouped its 20 commitments under five areas: inclusive growth, youth and employment, civic responsibility, purchasing power and reducing regional disparities.
The party made no secret of its ambition to emerge on top on September 23, with several speakers presenting the program as a blueprint for the next government.
“We want a government focused on young people, a government that is also for the 2030 World Cup,” one party official said.

One million jobs, bigger social aid
PAM is targeting one million new jobs across different sectors under its growth and employment proposals.
It is also promising to gradually double the minimum Direct Social Aid payment from MAD 500 to MAD 1,000 a month. Around four million households currently benefit from the program.
Pensions would get a floor of MAD 3,000 a month, while the party’s purchasing-power package includes an income-tax overhaul, free electricity bills below MAD 100 for qualifying low-income households and measures aimed at bringing down food prices.
Those proposals were detailed separately by PAM earlier on Tuesday.
The party also wants a national charter for youth covering education, housing and healthcare, alongside reforms to public schools and health services.
It has pledged to achieve 100% health coverage and continue the development of Amazigh.
Tuesday’s presentation also carried a sharper political message.
Speakers raised the recent Ceuta migration crisis, demands for greater accountability and what they described as the need to end conflicts of interest involving the outgoing Head of Government.
PAM enters the September 23 race as one of the three parties that formed the outgoing majority.
