Buenos Aires Mayor Launches Subsidized Mortgages for the Middle Class

The Buenos Aires government has introduced a new mortgage program with a subsidized interest rate to help the middle class purchase their first home. Previously, resources were focused on funding slums, which has been deemed unfair.


Buenos Aires Mayor Launches Subsidized Mortgages for the Middle Class

Head of the Government of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, announced a new mortgage credit program for the middle class, subsidized by the City of Buenos Aires. He stated that the dream of owning a home, which has been postponed for a long time, will become a reality. Previously, the resources of the City's Housing Institute were almost exclusively concentrated on villas and slums, a policy that Macri considered to have failed and generated profound injustice. The new credits will finance up to 75% of the property's value, with a maximum amount of 100 million pesos. The initial payment will not exceed 25% of the household's income. This measure aims to help thousands of middle-class families achieve their dream of owning their own home, focusing on those who pay taxes and follow the rules, rather than a few who were given houses for free.
