The integration of new sectors, with strong developmental potential, in the national pact for industrial emergence has become a pressing need, Amara said, adding that the chemical sector’s strategy meant to develop 15 sectoral industries which will increase the sector’s turnover which will jump from 50 to 150 billion dirhams and raise its contribution in the GDP from 16 to 47 billion dirhams. This initiative will also involve pharmaceutical, metallurgical, mechanical and electromechanical industries, he added.
