Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif issued Decree No. 1864 of 2008 to amend Article 6 of the Executive Regulations of the Mortgage Financing Law. The amendment redefines a qualifying investor for mortgage financing support as any individual with an annual income below 21,000 Egyptian pounds, or 30,000 pounds when including a spouse and minor children. It further mandates that priority for economic housing subsidies be strictly reserved for lower-income applicants who have not previously received cash assistance and do not currently own residential property.
