Appointed Minister of Economy, Finance and Public-Sector Performance by King Mohammed VI, Fouzi Lekjaa of the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) enters a new chapter in a career spent at the heart of government administration. First as budget director and then as minister delegate, he played a central role in budget decisions, parliamentary debates over finance bills and several sensitive rounds of social negotiations. Now in charge of one of the government’s most important ministries, he must balance revenue mobilization, sustainable spending and effective public administration at a time of considerable economic and social ambition.
