PH must address housing challenges

THE upcoming Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) financial integration is expected to present opportunities to make housing finance more accessible, but there are still challenges to the sector that need to be addressed for it to fully reap the benefits of a financially integrated region.

This was the message of Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Secretary General Angel Ojastro 3rd and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo during the Philippine Housing Finance Conference organized by the National Home Mortgage Finance Corp. (NHMFC) on Thursday.
