Main Focus Areas for Development of the Housing Finance Market BRIEF SUMMARY

Report delineates housing finance markets in Bangladesh, the elements of a housing finance reform strategy, restructuring of Bangladesh house building finance corporation (BHBFC), development of a liquidity facility and/or of a housing fund, computerization and modernization of the Dhaka titling registries, enabling rental markets and supporting developer activities. Housing finance in the country is limited to the top income group, titling is not fool-proof, mortgage lenders have to rely on short-term funding for financing the loans they give out, and the legal, regulatory, and taxation frameworks are not enabling primary and secondary housing finance market development.  These areas require a careful reform strategy to be addressed effectively, thereby spurring a growth in home financing to a wider population group at a lower cost.
