The banks also reduced the minimum salary requirements for expatriates to get loan to 300 dinar from the earlier 500 dinar, it added. The minimum work period was also reduced to 4 months instead of a year. The value of the consumer loan is determined according to their salary and the prescribed deduction percentage as per the instructions of the Central Bank of Kuwait. However, some conditions set by the regulator in terms of loan entitlement such as his company must be listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange, etc are applied to some banks, the report added.
