Housing Finance in Afghanistan : Challenges and Opportunities

This study examines the constraints on
the housing sector in Afghanistan. It evaluates government
policy on housing, looks at the state of housing finance,
and examines legal and regulatory barriers with a bearing on
the housing market. The report provides policy
recommendations aimed at helping to develop a private-sector
led housing market. To assist in formulating policies and
implementing actions, the study recommends forming a housing
finance task force under the sponsorship of the government.
Such a task force can help foster wider discussion among the
government, financial institutions, microfinance
institutions, nongovernmental organizations, civil society,
and other stakeholders.
