The committee meeting presided by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Dr Reza Baqir, deliberated on the execution of sustainable market-led financing of housing projects and mortgages, and how to boost the housing finance in Pakistan.
In order to manage matters, the committee has formed sub-committees that will handle different fronts including developer finance, end-user housing finance, use of technology, development of the capital market and the long-term yield curve, risk mitigation mechanism and removal of legal and regulatory hurdles to housing finance.
