Daam Sakane Morocco 2026: 100,000 MAD First-Time Buyer Subsidy

1. 1. The two Daam Sakane tiers: exact amounts and conditions

The program distinguishes two tiers based on the applicant household's net monthly income and the property purchase price. Thresholds are indexed to the SMIG (Guaranteed Minimum Interprofessional Wage) revalued to MAD 3,111.93/month since September 2024.

Tier 1 — MAD 100,000 subsidy (social housing)

Net household monthly income ≤ 4 × SMIG = MAD 12,447.72/month (rounded to MAD 12,448). Property purchase price ≤ MAD 300,000 ex-VAT (approximately MAD 360,000 incl. VAT). Typical beneficiary profiles: skilled workers, entry-level office employees, civil servants in scales 5-9, private-sector employees on CDI ≥ 12 months. Maximum useful surface: 80 m² (classic social housing).

Tier 2 — MAD 70,000 subsidy (middle class)

Household income between 4 and 6 × SMIG, i.e., MAD 12,448 to 18,671.58/month (MAD 18,672 cap). Property purchase price ≤ MAD 700,000 ex-VAT (≈ MAD 840,000 incl. VAT). Typical profiles: civil servants in scales 10-11, private-sector middle managers, early-career liberal professions. Useful surface: 50-120 m². This tier explicitly targets the Moroccan middle class, excluded from classic social housing but with limited affordability for the standard market.

Non-cumulative cap: one household = one subsidy

A household (spouse included) can claim only ONE Daam Sakane subsidy in their entire life. The rule applies even if the household buys a second property later. Married couples are considered a single household: aggregated income counts toward the threshold.

2. 2. Detailed eligibility criteria (8 cumulative conditions)

Beyond income and price thresholds, the program imposes 8 cumulative conditions. Any file failing even one of these conditions is automatically rejected by the partner bank during processing.

Complete list of conditions

(1) Moroccan nationality or MRE resident with a consular card. (2) Age: between 21 and 60 at compromise signing (repayment period not exceeding age 65). (3) First-time buyer: no property ownership in Morocco under applicant's or spouse's name (verified via National Land Registry). (4) Primary residence only: property must be occupied by the beneficiary and family for at least 5 years (resale possible with prorated subsidy repayment). (5) Purchase from a Daam Sakane-accredited developer (list updated quarterly on Ministry portal). (6) Mandatory bank financing (100% cash purchase excluded). (7) Minimum 10% personal contribution. (8) Formal commitment to occupy the property within 6 months of delivery.

Accepted special cases

Non-resident MREs: eligible upon presenting a valid consular card and committing to effective occupation within 12 months (vs 6 for residents). Divorced individuals without property: eligible. Widows/widowers: eligible under same conditions as singles.

3. 3. The 8 Daam Sakane partner banks

The program relies on a network of banks signed to a specific convention with the Ministry. Only these banks can process Daam Sakane files and disburse the subsidy at loan release.

Conventional banks

Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire (BCP), Bank of Africa (formerly BMCE), CIH Bank, Crédit Agricole du Maroc, Société Générale Maroc, BMCI (BNP Paribas), Crédit du Maroc.

Participatory banks (Mourabaha + Daam Sakane)

Bank Assafa and Umnia Bank accept the program via Mourabaha structure: the subsidy is integrated into the profit margin calculation with the Higher Council of Ulemas' approval. Bank Al Yousr, BTI Bank, and Arreda: program adoption in progress as of May 2026 — verify at branch.

2026 rates on Daam Sakane files

Banks apply preferential rates on Daam Sakane loans: 3.80 to 4.50% APR (conventional) vs 4.10-5.20% standard. Mourabaha margin: 4.50-5.20% (vs 5.10-5.90% standard). Maximum term 25 years. 6 to 12 months repayment deferral possible for off-plan acquisitions (VEFA).

4. 4. Complete file procedure: 7 steps from compromise to disbursement

Average delay between compromise signing and effective subsidy disbursement to the buyer's account is 90 to 120 days in 2026. Strict procedure compliance avoids any delay or rejection.

Documents to prepare

Applicant's and spouse's national ID. Recent marriage certificate (less than 3 months) if applicable. Non-property certificate from the Land Registry (15-30 days, MAD 200). Last 3 pay slips + employment certificate (employees) OR last 2 income tax returns + 12-month bank statements (self-employed). Sale promise signed with notary at accredited developer. Cadastral plan + building permit of the program. First-purchase declaration certified by adoul.

5. 5. Frequent pitfalls and rejection causes in 2026

Ministry statistics (December 2025) show an 18% rejection rate of initially submitted files. The 5 main causes in 2026:

Non-accredited developer

Cause #1 (32% of rejections). Many developers advertise "Daam Sakane compatible" without official accreditation. Always verify on the Ministry portal (quarterly updates) before signing the compromise.

Income cap exceeded after adding allowances

Cause #2 (24% of rejections). Net income compared to SMIG thresholds includes ALL monthly allowances: 13th month, productivity bonus, transport allowance, housing allowance.

Spouse owns property

Cause #3 (18% of rejections). The "first purchase" criterion applies to the entire household. If the spouse owns an apartment, even inherited, the subsidy is refused.

Insufficient personal contribution

Cause #4 (14% of rejections). The minimum 10% contribution must be justified by traced savings (6-month bank statement) — cash injections at compromise are systematically refused under anti-money-laundering rules.

Property surface exceeded

Cause #5 (12% of rejections). Tier 1: strict 80 m² max. Tier 2: 120 m² max. Includes ALL built surface. Covered balconies count at 50% of their surface.

6. FAQ

Q.What is the difference between Daam Sakane Tier 1 and Tier 2 in 2026?

Tier 1: MAD 100,000 subsidy for household income ≤ 4×SMIG (MAD 12,448/month) and property price ≤ MAD 300,000 ex-VAT (social housing, 80 m² max). Tier 2: MAD 70,000 subsidy for income between 4 and 6×SMIG (MAD 12,448-18,672/month) and property price ≤ MAD 700,000 ex-VAT (middle class, 120 m² max). One lifetime disbursement per household.

Q.Can I combine Daam Sakane with FOGARIM in 2026?

No. Daam Sakane and FOGARIM are incompatible since 2024: one household must choose one or the other. FOGARIM remains relevant for households with income < MAD 5,200/month without CDI (craftsmen, informal merchants) who are not eligible for Daam Sakane. Daam Sakane is more advantageous for eligible CDI employees.

Q.How long does it take to receive the Daam Sakane subsidy after signing?

Average 2026 delay: 90 to 120 days between compromise signing and effective subsidy disbursement to the buyer's account. The subsidy is disbursed by the partner bank at loan release — therefore tied to property delivery (for new) or final deed signing (for existing).

Q.Can a non-resident MRE benefit from Daam Sakane in 2026?

Yes, provided they present a valid consular card (obtained at the Moroccan consulate in your country of residence) and formally commit to occupy the property within 12 months of delivery (vs 6 months for residents). Foreign income is accepted subject to MAD conversion at the Bank Al-Maghrib daily rate.

Q.What happens if I resell my Daam Sakane property before 5 years?

The subsidy must be repaid prorated to the non-occupied period: resale after 2 years = 60% repayment (3 unoccupied years × 20%). Resale after 4 years = 20% repayment. Resale after 5 years = no repayment. The notary is required to inform the Housing Directorate of any resale.

Q.Which are the Daam Sakane partner banks in 2026?

8 conventional banks: Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire, Bank of Africa (BMCE), CIH Bank, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale Maroc, BMCI, Crédit du Maroc. 2 confirmed participatory banks: Bank Assafa and Umnia Bank (Mourabaha with subsidy integrated into margin). Bank Al Yousr, BTI, and Arreda joining (verify at branch).

Q.Is purchase in the existing market (private resale) eligible for Daam Sakane?

No. The program covers only new housing acquisitions from accredited developers (quarterly updated list on www.muat.gov.ma). Existing market (private resale or via agency) is excluded. For existing market, alternatives are FOGARIM (low income) or standard mortgage.

Q.What rate do banks apply on a Daam Sakane loan in 2026?

Preferential rates: 3.80 to 4.50% APR conventional (vs 4.10-5.20% standard) and 4.50-5.20% Mourabaha margin participatory (vs 5.10-5.90% standard). Maximum term 25 years. 6 to 12 months repayment deferral possible for off-plan acquisitions. The rate gap with a standard loan represents approximately MAD 30,000-50,000 savings over the loan's full term.
