This upward revision is a result of a significant increase in volatile food prices. In addition, it should be noted that Bank Al-Maghrib anticipated a GDP growth rate of 1.2% in 2016 and 4.0% in 2017. In addition, the Council of Bank Al-Maghrib decided to react to the bank liquidity improvement. The banking sector showed a slow growth of bank loans, i.e. 2.0% Y-o-Y at the end of April 2016 against 2.5% a year earlier. In this context, the Council raised the required reserve ratio from to 2 % to 5% as response to the improvement in bank liquidity. This additional reserve would be remunerated at 0.75% for dynamic financial institutions whose outstanding loans are higher than the sector average during Q2-2016.
