“I will visit Government Housing Bank next week and get more details on the second phase of the mortgage loans for lower-income people nationwide,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet yesterday approved a budget revision for mortgage loans to customers whose income is not over Bt25,000 per month. The budget has been doubled to Bt40 billion from the previous Bt20 billion, with mortgage loans ratcheted down from Bt30 billion to Bt10 billion for those with incomes above Bt25,000 monthly.
This follows market demand, spokesperson attached to the deputy prime minister, Nattaporn Jatusripitak, said yesterday.
