Morocco’s draft Finance Bill for 2027 proposes creating a dedicated treasury account to finance the implementation of Tamazight’s official status, a structural step that would separate Amazigh-language funding from the broader administrative-modernization and digital-transition fund.
Reporting by Moroccan outlets on the bill says the proposed account would be called the Fund for Implementing the Official Status of Amazigh. If adopted through the parliamentary process, it would begin operating on 1 January 2027 and would finance projects to integrate Tamazight into priority areas of public life.
The measure is set out in the draft bill as a proposed financial mechanism, not as an enacted programs. The reports say the head of government would be responsible for the account’s receipts and spending, while its resources would come from allocations in the general budget. Its stated purpose is to fund projects and operations linked to the integration of Tamazight under Organic Law 26.16, which sets out stages for giving the language practical effect in education and public services.
The proposal would also alter the name of the existing special account for administrative modernization, digital transition and Amazigh-language use. Under the draft, that existing account would retain administrative-modernization and digital-transition functions, while Amazigh-language spending would move to the newly proposed dedicated fund. Commitments and agreements already made before the start of 2027 would continue under their existing terms but be counted through the new account, according to the reports.
The distinction matters because a separate account could make it easier to identify spending intended specifically for Tamazight implementation. It does not, however, by itself establish the final amount available for individual projects or guarantee approval of the bill. Those details will depend on the legislation’s parliamentary passage, the appropriations ultimately adopted and how the fund is implemented.
The proposal follows recent government discussion of a MAD 2 billion commitment for Amazigh-language implementation. While that announcement focused on the scale of planned funding, the finance-bill provisions describe a proposed accounting and governance framework for tracking and financing integration work across sectors.
Amazigh organizations and advocates have long called for clearer, accountable financing for the constitutional and legal commitments surrounding Tamazight. The proposed fund would place that question more directly in the annual budget process, while leaving scrutiny of allocations, beneficiaries and delivery central to the next stages of debate.
Update, 27 October 2026: Morocco’s Ministry of Economy and Finance says the Government Council adopted Finance Bill No. 60.26 on 20 October, and the Ministry has published the bill documents. Parliament listed the general discussion for 28 October. These steps confirm the proposal is before Parliament; they do not mean the Tamazight fund has been enacted.
