For the remainder, customers have to pay off with a partner bank for up to 20 years or pay off with the company.

Currently, the government is implementing five affordable housing projects, two of which are in Kandal province, developed by WorldBridge Land; one in Kor village, Roka commune, Takhmao city, Kandal province, 8km from Takhmao city; and the other in Tourl Krasang village. Rokar Kpors commune, Sa’ang district, Kandal province, 8km from Takhmao. Two other projects are being implemented in Phnom Penh and a condominium type housing in Teuk Thla neighbourhood, developed by Japanese firm Arakawa. The final project is located in Banteay Meanchey province. All houses in these affordable housing projects will generate a total of 8,331 and 7,256 private units to be sold for under US$30,000.

The government has been implementing two national policies on housing issues: the National Housing Policy 2014 and the Policy on Promotion and Development of National Program for Affordable Housing 2017. The adoption of these policies aims to provide people with affordable housing in a safe, secure and dignified manner, especially for low-income, middle-income and vulnerable people. (Read More)
