Ithmaar Bank's PPP Housing Partnership

Ithmaar has signed an agreement with the Bahrain's Ministry of Housing to help address the Kingdom's housing challenges. This is a "first time home buyers" program which allows citizens to pay a fixed 25% of their income towards the mortgage with the balance being paid by the Ministry of Housing.[1] The project was launched in 2013 to build more than 50,000 social and affordable housing units. The program began with initial funding of more than $450 million from Ithmaar Bank to build 2,800 housing units at Al Madina Al Shamaliya and Al Luwzi.[2]
