Rabat – Officials from Morocco’s National Social Security Fund (CNSS) presented a report on its financial situation on Thursday during a meeting with the technical committee of the National Commission for Pension Reform.
The meeting is part of the diagnostic phase that comes before the government finalizes a comprehensive reform plan for the pension system.
The CNSS presentation covered key indicators, including revenues, the number of contributors, how files are processed, and trends in contributions and spending. It also included information on health benefits to help the committee build an accurate assessment of the fund’s financial situation.
Similar meetings are expected in the coming weeks with other pension funds, including the Moroccan Interprofessional Pension Fund (CIMR), the Moroccan Pension Fund (CMR), and the Collective Retirement Allowance Scheme (RCAR).

Union representatives who attended the meeting told SNRT News that real discussions on reform will not begin before February. They noted that a new meeting is scheduled next month to assess the situation of CIMR, as part of the ongoing diagnostic process.
This approach comes amid renewed calls from trade unions urging the government to clarify its long-term strategy for pension funds and to speed up the implementation of related social laws.
During the last technical committee meeting in December, the government renewed its commitment to presenting its final vision once the assessment of each fund is completed. This proposal will then be submitted to the National Commission for Pension Reform, chaired by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, for discussion and final decisions.
A union source told SNRTnews that Thursday’s meeting could open the way for multiple scenarios to ensure the sustainability of the pension system. However, the source stressed that the current phase remains focused on diagnosis, not reform, and is expected to continue beyond February, with a possible extension if needed.
According to the government’s 2026 Finance Bill, authorities aim to reach an agreement on reform scenarios before the end of April 2026. These proposals would then be submitted to the National Commission ahead of April, with final approval of the main reform outlines expected by the end of the month.
The second phase will see the government prepare the necessary legal and regulatory texts and submit them to Parliament starting in May 2026.
