Future of Housing Finance – Outlook

  • The housing sector has witnessed significant growth in the past one decade on the back of economic reforms, growing acceptability of home finance and stronger market penetration of housing finance companies in various micro markets.
  • The most recent GST implementation undertaken by the Indian government will be positive for India in the long term, as it will lead to higher gross domestic product (GDP) growth and increased tax revenues. Over the medium term, the GST is likely to contribute to productivity gains and higher GDP growth by improving the ease of doing business, unifying the national market and enhancing India’s attractiveness as a foreign investment destination. GST will also support higher government revenue generation through improved tax compliance and administration, both of which will be positive for India’s credit profile.
  • The announcements made earlier by the Prime Minister under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna for Economically Weaker section (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) to boost mass housing in peripheral areas with attractive interest subventions have provided great impetus to the affordable housing industry also acknowledging the potential of the segment at the bottom of the pyramid, where growth and potential exists.
  • The Government’s initiatives have been a timely acknowledgment of the inherent industry potential as well as strong steps to achieve its ‘Housing For All’ objective. This, together with the Credit Guarantee for SMEs will enable small business owners and the middle class salaried customer to make better progress in their businesses, take a step towards higher aspirations and seek to move into their own houses
  • The implementation of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act (RERA) by the Union Government on May 1, 2017 is another very significant initiative that reflects the government’s steadfast commitment to bring greater momentum to India’s real estate industry which contributes very significantly to India’s GDP and is the growth engine for India’s economic development. With its implementation, India undertakes a long term policy measure which will drive several positive permanent impacts to the sector. Most significantly it is set to build a transparent ecosystem for all industry participants including buyers, developers, financial institutions like banks and housing finance companies and other important stake holders.
  • In conclusion, how well we structure these building blocks, adopting a transformative approach within the socio economic fabric of India, will be crucial to ensure a self sustaining mortgage finance sector in the India financial system and play a pivotal role in India’s economic growth.
