Begun in 1988, India's National Housing Bank represents a potentially important innovation for housing finance in developing countries. This book evaluates the bank's first two years in the context of housing finance in other developing countries and broader financial markets. In many developing countries, national housing banks lend directly to the public at subsidized rates, discouraging a competitive housing finance system. India's bank was implemented to foster a stable, market-oriented, competitive system.
