The Project is also expected to create jobs as housing investment has a strong multiplier effect across the economy given the number of linked sectors, such as the production of building material, construction sector, or financial services.
IFC's presence in the project provides comfort to the participants and sends a positive signal to the market which shall help the company to attract long-term funding from other international and impact investors.
