RABAT, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Morocco's parliament approved on Wednesday the country's 2019 budget.
The budget bill is based on an economic growth of 3.2 percent next year, lower than the 3.6-percent GDP rise projected by the government for 2018.
It also aims to narrow deficit from the expected 3.8 percent this year to 3.3 percent in 2019.
The bill allocates more than 20 billion U.S. dollars to public investment, and aims for a significant rise in public employment with the creation of 40,248 jobs.
