According to Reuters, Morocco set a new date (11/25) for a parliamentary election in November this year, scheduling the vote ten months early, so it can quickly adopt constitutional reforms designed to head off an “Arab Spring.”

On the business side, Morocco’s consumer inflation rose 0.7 percent in June 2011 from a year earlier on rising food and clothing costs.
