Des responsables gouvernementaux, économiques et bancaires étudient un plan de crédit de 2 milliards de dollars, selon un document obtenu par Asharq Al-Awsat et non encore approuvé : 1 milliard pour les particuliers (dont 400 millions de prêts auto) et 1 milliard pour les entreprises, financés presque entièrement par les réserves en devises de la BDL, estimées à 11,6 milliards.

Le document prévoit jusqu'à 574 millions de recettes publiques la première année. Mais selon des sources de la BDL citées par la LBCI, ces réserves appartiennent aux déposants, toujours limités à 500 à 1 000 dollars de retraits par mois.
