JS Bank has signed a Credit Guarantee Agreement with the Pakistan Mortgage Refinance Company (PMRC) for providing and promoting affordable housing finance to low-income lenders in the country.
The agreement was inked by the State Bank of Pakistan, JS Bank and five other banks for the recently launched mark-up subsidy, Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar initiative.
Launched by the Credit Guarantee Trust, the “Credit Guarantee Scheme for Low Income Housing” will provide up to 40% risk coverage to primary mortgage lenders to alleviate the credit risk of mortgage lenders.
