Meezan Bank housing finance surpasses Rs3bn under GHTA

Meezan Bank, a leading commercial bank in Pakistan, has reached a significant milestone by surpassing Rs3.05 billion in cumulative disbursements under the Government of Pakistan's affordable housing initiative, Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Programme – Ghar Ho Tu Apna (GHTA). The statement on Monday highlighted how this achievement underscores the bank's expanding popularity in providing Shariah-compliant housing finance solutions and its ongoing dedication to making homeownership accessible through ethical and customer-focused financing.

The GHTA initiative, officially launched on April 30, 2026, by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is a nationwide subsidized housing finance program aimed at tackling Pakistan's housing deficit by offering affordable, long-term financing options to low- and middle-income families. It also seeks to spur economic growth by boosting construction activity.

Since its inception, Meezan Bank has been at the forefront of this initiative, approving over 3,000 housing finance applications under GHTA, which has resulted in a cumulative approved financing amount exceeding Rs22.557 billion. Ahmed Ali Siddiqui, Group Head – Consumer Finance & Digital Banking at Meezan Bank, expressed the bank's commitment to the government's affordable housing agenda and its role in enabling more Pakistani families to own homes through ethical Islamic financing.
