Mahama Ayariga backs long-term capital mobilisation to address Ghana’s housing financing gap

Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has called for stronger and more sustainable financing mechanisms to support Ghana’s housing needs, highlighting the importance of mobilising long-term capital for the sector.

The Minister said participants examined issues including long-term capital mobilisation, affordable mortgage financing and sustainable housing solutions.

Mr Ayariga said the country’s housing challenge requires more than increasing the supply of buildings, arguing that the availability and affordability of financing must form part of efforts to expand access to adequate housing.
