To encourage the younger generation to develop their entrepreneurial skills, a member from each family will be given a chance to take interest free loans, to start a business.
Housing Finance
During his speech, Prime Minister Imran Khan pointed out that under the guidance of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, the government has worked to make housing more affordable to the people of Pakistan by encouraging banks to give out loans. The Prime Minister mentioned that only 0.2% of housing loans are given in Pakistan, the percentage is lowest in the region.
