Presentation: Mobilising Capital for Housing in Africa
Kecia Rust, CAHF’s E.D., recently presented at the FSD Capital Markets Development Workshop in London. Her presentation largely focused on how the affordable housing backlog can be met profitably, considering both the private sector and public sector’s role. The presentation then considered housing as an asset, the impact of housing on the economy, the ways in which housing financing depends on the value chain, how lenders and investors favour higher value markets, and how capital can be mobilised for housing finance across the African continent.
