Daam Sakane: 47,000 Beneficiaries in 2 Years — Report and Outlook

Launched in July 2024 by Morocco's Ministry of Housing and Urban Policy, the Daam Sakane program reaches 47,000 effectively approved files in May 2026 out of 65,000 submitted, a 72% approval rate. This unprecedented mechanism, combining direct subsidy of 100,000 MAD for first-time buyers and exemption from the 4% registration tax, is reshaping Morocco's homeownership landscape.

Geographic distribution of beneficiaries

Geographic distribution of Daam Sakane beneficiaries reveals some surprises. Top 5 cities: Casablanca (11,200 files, 24%), Marrakech (5,800, 12%), Tangier (5,100, 11%), Rabat (4,700, 10%), Fes (3,400, 7%). Major metros thus concentrate 64% of files, but medium cities are emerging.

Typical beneficiary profile

Per Ministry of Housing aggregated data, the typical Daam Sakane beneficiary is a 32-year-old first-time buyer, private sector employee (62%) or civil servant (28%), with average monthly net salary of 9,800 MAD. 56% married, 38% single. Gender split 64/36 men/women.

Distribution banks

All Moroccan banks distribute Daam Sakane, but four dominate: Banque Populaire (28% of files), Attijariwafa Bank (24%), CIH Bank (16% — historical social mortgage specialist), BMCE Bank of Africa (12%). Participatory banks represent 8% via specific Mourabaha Sakane.

Macroeconomic impact

Daam Sakane's global envelope represents 4.7 billion MAD in subsidies paid since launch (47,000 × 100,000). Adding registration tax exemption (estimated 1.5 billion MAD), total cost to public finances approaches 6.2 billion MAD over 22 months.

Extension confirmed through 2028

The Housing Minister confirmed in late April 2026 the program's extension through end of 2028 (originally planned through 2026), targeting 100,000 additional beneficiaries by that date. The eligible purchase price cap may also be raised to 450,000 MAD (social housing) and 900,000 MAD (economic housing).
