The government has allowed overseas Pakistanis to invest in the Prime Minister’s Apna Ghar housing scheme. The move aims to expand access to affordable housing finance.
The decision was approved by the Economic Coordination Committee in a meeting chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb.
Officials said the updated framework will increase participation in the housing sector. It includes overseas investors, financial institutions, and private sector partners.
The scheme now allows overseas Pakistanis to apply and invest through official channels. This is expected to bring more foreign inflows into the housing market.
The revised structure also includes public-private partnerships. Non-banking financial institutions will also be part of the program.
Authorities believe this expansion will help achieve national housing targets. It will also improve access to finance for citizens.
The program aims to support affordable housing across Pakistan. It focuses on low and middle-income families.
Experts say overseas investment could boost the construction sector. It may also strengthen economic growth.
The Apna Ghar scheme continues to be a key housing initiative. The new update makes it more inclusive and accessible.
