  • Financing for Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar gains momentum

    Financing for Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar gains momentum

    KARACHI: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Wednesday said that as a result of numerous measures of the SBP and full support of the government, bank lending for the government’s flagship markup subsidy scheme, commonly known as Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar (MPMG), has picked up momentum.

    Since the launch of the scheme, applications of Rs 154 billion under MPMG have been received by banks and banks have approved housing finance of over Rs 59 billion up till August 31, 2021. Similarly, the pace of disbursement under MPMG that was initially slow because of a number of factors, including the availability of housing units, has also picked up.

    By August 31, 2021, disbursement under the scheme has reached Rs 11.5 billion, showing an increase of around Rs 3.8 billion or 49 per cent in August 2021.

    On average, to date banks have approved 38 percent of the amount applied and 19 percent of the approved amount has been disbursed.

    These approval and disbursement ratios have similarly risen over the past few months as banks have put in place the needed upfront investment in procedures and technology to process applications for low-cost housing.

    It would be pertinent to mention here that banks disbursed amounts in different stages of construction or purchase. Thus the pace of disbursement is contingent upon the speed of construction and completion of the purchasing process.

    Since the announcement of MPMG scheme last year, SBP has taken various enabling steps such as introducing standardized and simple application form; adopting an informal income assessment model; providing relaxations in prudential regulations; establishing helpdesks at all SBP field offices; and, designing a complaint portal supported by a network of focal persons of all banks across all geographical areas.

    On the instructions of SBP, banks are accepting MPMG applications from over 8,000 dedicated branches across the country. Further, SBP has also allocated targets to each bank under MPMG.

    An e-tracking system within each bank and a dedicated joint call center for the facilitation of the applicants have also been established. Naya Pakistan Housing Development Authority (NAPHDA) and Pakistan Banks’ Association (PBA), a representative body of banks, are fully supporting MPMG.

    It is expected that with the ongoing efforts by SBP, Government, and Banks, bank finance for MPMG will gain further momentum in the days to come.

  • Rupee rebounds against dollar in interbank

    Rupee rebounds against dollar in interbank

    KARACHI: The Pak Rupee (PKR) made a recovery against the dollar on Wednesday. The local currency gained value on inflows of export receipts and workers’ remittances.

    The rupee ended at Rs167.25 to the dollar from the previous day’s closing of Rs167.63 in the interbank foreign exchange market.

    Currency experts said that inflows of export receipts and workers’ remittances helped the local unit to recover against the greenback.

    The local currency witnessed a massive decline during the past couple of days.

    The rupee has witnessed a decline since the start of the current fiscal year. The rupee lost around Rs9.71 against the dollar since July 01, 2021.

    The experts attributed the fall in rupee value to external payment which kept the dollar demand higher during the current fiscal year.

    The rupee is near to the all-time low of Rs168.44 against the dollar, which was recorded on August 26, 2020.
