Resolution of the Minister of Housing No. 100 of 2014 and the Periodic Letter of the Minister of Justice No. 189 dated 2/7/2014 and Overcoming Obstacles to Implementing the Initiative

The letter clarifies that the phrase 'after settling all dues of the Authority' in Minister of Housing Resolution No. 100 of 2014 refers to dues due up to the date of the request, not the total outstanding amount. It confirms that the Minister of Housing issued directives to New Urban Communities Authority heads to provide mortgage facilities, and the Minister of Justice issued Periodic Letter No. 189 to activate these procedures through notary and registration offices. Banks are required to report any remaining obstacles to the Deputy Chairman of the New Urban Communities Authority for Development and Cities to facilitate the implementation of the housing finance initiative.

Dear Mr. Chairman of the Board of Directors,

Cairo, August 31, 2014

Bank

Greetings,

Continuing the Egyptian Mortgage Bank's efforts to remove obstacles to the implementation of the housing finance initiative launched by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2014, and in the context of the meeting held with banks as well as the receipt of many inquiries regarding Minister of Housing Resolution No. (100) for the year 2014 and the obstacles facing banks in this regard, I would like to inform you as follows:

  • Regarding the inquiry about the phrase "... after settling all dues of the Authority ..." mentioned in Article One of Minister of Housing Resolution No. (100) for the year 2014, we attach herewith the explanatory memorandum for the resolution issued by the Minister of Housing, which states that the meaning of this phrase is the settlement of installments due to the Authority up to the date of the request, and not the total dues of the Authority.

  • Regarding complaints concerning the lack of awareness of New Urban Communities Authority devices regarding Minister of Housing Resolution No. (100) for the year 2014 and the necessity to activate it through the Ministry of Justice, the following has been done:

A. The Minister of Housing issued the necessary directives to the heads of New Urban Communities Authority devices to provide all required facilities for clients, whether from mortgage finance companies or banks, regarding mortgage financing.

B. The Minister of Justice issued Letter No. (189) dated 2/7/2014 (copy attached) to Real Estate Registration Offices and their supervisors, Notary Offices and their branches, and General Administrations within the Authority to activate the aforementioned resolution and facilitate mortgage financing procedures.

And based on the foregoing, in case obstacles continue to exist, banks must send these cases to the Engineer / Deputy Chairman of the New Urban Communities Authority for the Development and Cities Sector for consideration, while sending a copy to the Housing Finance Support Guarantee Fund for follow-up regarding low-income individuals.

This, and through monitoring the extent of banks' use of the initiative, it has become clear that they have not benefited from it as expected, especially regarding the medium-income customer segment. And based on the foregoing, you must inform us of any additional obstacles facing banks in implementing the initiative so that we can work to remove them to achieve the desired results.

Please be kind enough to alert regarding taking the necessary action in this regard.

Accept our highest respect,

Gamal Naguib
