The Housing Bank’s General Director, Antoine Habib, on Friday visited Caretaker Minister of Finance, Youssef Khalil, who briefed him on the bank’s status and activities, as well as on future projects, especially on the level of housing loans.   During the meeting, Habib handed Khalil a copy of the document that the Chairman of the Council for Development and Reconstruction, Nabil Al-Jisr, had submitted to the General Director of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, Mr. Badr Mohammad Al-Saad.   The document confirms the Lebanese Council of Ministers’ approval to amend the housing loan agreement between the Lebanese Central Bank and the Housing Bank — for the implementation of the second phase of the housing project in Lebanon — which is financed by a loan provided by the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development.  For his part, Minister Khalil expressed his “support for any step taken by the Housing Bank that helps people with limited and middle income amid these difficult circumstances,” hoping the project will be “put on the path of implementation as soon as possible.” (ICE BEIRUT)
