Abstract

Expanding housing finance to the underserved in South Asia, a first regional effort on the topic, examines housing needs and shortages in South Asia, and outlines shortcomings of the market for home mortgages. The primary purpose of this book is to pull together housing and housing finance information for the countries of South Asia. Housing and housing finance data have been scarce in most countries in the region, preventing policy makers, private sector businesses, and financial sector stakeholders from enabling and improving these markets. The book presents illustrations of best practices and country-specific examples that can enable builder/ developers, mortgage lenders, and land administrators to create foreclosure and other relevant regulations that will strengthen home ownership in South Asia. Special emphasis is accorded to innovative solutions for low-income housing. Finally, the book draws attention to regional challenges to efficient and effective housing and housing finance markets and suggests an agenda for the future.
