In terms of banking, the target group for obtaining good loans is those with high salaries.

In terms of accounting, whoever borrows KD70,000 must be receiving a minimum salary of KD3,645 to be able to pay the monthly installment of KD1,458 as per the directive of the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK); which set a higher ceiling for the monthly deduction – 40 percent of the salary for employees and 30 percent of the pension for retirees.
