Responsables gubernamentales, económicos y bancarios estudian un plan de crédito de 2.000 millones de dólares, según un documento obtenido por Asharq Al-Awsat y aún no aprobado: 1.000 millones para consumidores (400 millones en préstamos para autos) y 1.000 millones para empresas, financiados casi por completo con las reservas en divisas del BDL, estimadas en 11.600 millones.

El documento prevé hasta 574 millones de ingresos públicos el primer año. Pero fuentes del BDL dijeron a LBCI que esas reservas pertenecen a los depositantes, que aún solo pueden retirar entre 500 y 1.000 dólares al mes.
