Panama programs / Private sector low cost shelter
Housing Guaranty (HG) is provided to a consortium of Panamanian mortgage banks to increase private sector delivery of low-cost housing. The HG, which will be complemented by grant-funded TA and training to strengthen the private sector's ability to meet urban housing needs, will be administered through a Trust Fund managed by a first line commercial bank. Project borrowers will consist of three private banks - Banco General, Primer Banco de Ahorros, and Banco Panameno de la Vivienda - and one public bank - Caja de Ahorros. Participation of the Caja de Ahorros will be limited to $10 million to allow for broader institutional participation and because of its public sector status. The mortgage banks will add $18.4 million of their own funds to HG resources. HG funds will finance the production by private sector developers and builders of a broad range of low-income (20th-50th percentile) housing units. During the first 2 years of the program, up to $1 million will be set aside for a pilot project to finance very low income (20th percentile) units. Project 5250287 will fund TA and training for participating institutions to address, among other things, ways of reducing housing producti
