Autoridades do governo, da economia e dos bancos discutem um plano de crédito de US$ 2 bilhões, segundo documento obtido pelo Asharq Al-Awsat e ainda não aprovado: US$ 1 bilhão para consumidores (US$ 400 milhões em crédito automotivo) e US$ 1 bilhão para empresas, financiados quase inteiramente pelas reservas em moeda estrangeira do BDL, estimadas em US$ 11,6 bilhões.

O documento prevê até US$ 574 milhões em receitas públicas no primeiro ano. Mas fontes do BDL disseram à LBCI que essas reservas pertencem aos depositantes, que ainda só podem sacar de US$ 500 a 1.000 por mês.
