The CBE launched a mortgage finance initiative in February 2014 with subsidized decreasing interest ranging from 5% to 7% for the low- and middle-income segments.

In 2021, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi instructed the CBE to formulate and launch a new mortgage financing programme for low- and middle-income groups with long-term loans of up to 30 years and with low and simplified interest that does not exceed 3%.

The initiative includes several conditions, most notably providing the necessary real estate financing to customers who meet the conditions of the initiative through banks or real estate finance companies at a return rate of 3% calculated on a decreasing basis for a maximum period of 30 years.

According to the fund, the National Bank of Egypt’s (NBE) contributions, within the initiative, recorded EGP 15.464bn for 133,864 customers, accounting for 27.3% of the total bank financing.
