Mortgages are one of the fastest-growing segments in African retail banking with an estimated CAGR of 6% between 2017 and 2022. But many Africans do not qualify for mortgages or cannot afford interest rates that average 14% in sub-Saharan Africa. Lenders are\u00a0also\u00a0cautious about offering long-term credit to the 81% of Africans in informal employment and are sensitive to macroeconomic factors and availability of housing stock. Financial innovations \u2013 such as rent-to-own models, housing microfinance, and mortgage-backed securities \u2013 are touted to make housing credit more accessible. But how can such models be leveraged at scale? And might so-called \u2018green mortgages\u2019 for environmentally certified developments steer housing finance in a sustainable direction? Leaders in the financial community explore innovations that could pump life into inclusive housing finance in Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
