The government should resume the affordable house financing
scheme through commercial banks to facilitate masses for purchasing
and constructing residential housing units to revive economic
activities across the country.

City, Syed Afzal Hameed, at the annual meetup of developers and the
launch of one-window solutions for allotees of the international
housing project at a local hotel here on Thursday.

activities in construction and various allied sectors, including
steel, cement, paint, cable, marbles, etc, which ultimately benefits
the economy through taxes and employment opportunities.
The real estate is the mother of construction industry, it contributes
a significant role to the GDP every year, he remarked.
Despite various challenges, the administration of Shangrila City
introduced housing projects for middle income groups, including an
international themed apartment, and began the process of procession to
allotees at a given time.
He added that owning a decent residential unit is a dream these days,
but it had been made possible through affordable projects launched by
Aimal Builders.
