Analyzing how Malaysia can increase its green affordable housing (GAH) and mortgages, this report outlines barriers for different income groups, and shows how stronger standards, increased collaboration, and homebuyer incentives can help drive sustainable urban development.
A joint publication between ADB and Cagamas Berhad, the Malaysian national mortgage corporation, it evaluates the sector, assesses housing cost inflation, and notes low levels of both GAH demand and supply. Highlighting the need for greater public awareness and tailored financial products for low-income groups and female-headed households it shows how the government, financial institutions, and property developers can work together to help fill financing gaps and strengthen the wider GAH ecosystem.
