The First Home Buyers Programme has been made better. Attorney-General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said: “We’re not only continuing the First Home Buyer’s Programme, it’s becoming more generous. For households who earn less than $50,000 a year, they will be granted $30,000 to build their first home.

“And $15,000 to buy their first home. For families earning above $50,000 annually, they can be granted $20,000 to build their first home and $5,000 to buy their first home.

“And –– once again –– we’re looking to businesses to lend creativity to the equation. Among the over 1,600 duty concession­s, we’ve removed duties on raw materials, machinery and equipment for the constructi­on of public rental housing.”
