Gov't revises LTV limit and grants to cool HDB market

The LVT limit for HDB housing was reduced to 75%.

The government has introduced new measures to cool the HDB resale market and offer increased support to lower- to middle-income first-time home buyers.

One of the measures is the reduction of the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit for HDB housing loans by five percentage points, lowering it from 80% to 75%, effective from 20 August.

The Ministry of National Development (MND) stated that the revised HDB LTV limit will apply to completed resale applications received by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on or after 20 August and BTO applications for the October 2024 BTO exercise onwards.

The LTV limit for loans provided by financial institutions remains unchanged at 75%.

As part of its cooling measures, the government will also increase the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) quantum for new and resale flats to support first-time home buyers.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
