His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, has given his approval to a housing loan package benefiting 2,000 UAE citizens.
This package, valued at AED 1.6 billion, is being implemented under the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme.
In 2022, under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, the Council of Ministers approved a new policy for federal government housing loans. The policy aims to provide financing through partnerships with the private sector and national banks, as part of a comprehensive plan to reduce the waiting period for housing loan applications.
The program’s objective is to issue 13,000 housing decisions over a five-year period, from 2022 to 2026, with a total cost of AED 11.5 billion. This initiative aims to meet the future housing needs of the UAE citizens, ensuring their prosperity and a decent, secure life for the population.
