KUWAIT CITY, Jan 12, (KUNA): Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) is continuing to earmark substantial sums for backing up the national housing sector. Latest allocation for the Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) amounted to KD 17 million (USD 56 million), said Ghanem Al-Ghunaiman, the first deputy director general, in a press statement on Tuesday.

The sum was allotted for the PAHW after adoption of the fund final accounts for the two fiscal years: 2018-2019 and 2019-2020). KFAED’s bylaw, amended in 2003, stipulates shifting 25 percent of the fund net profits to the housing authority, Al-Ghunaiman has affirmed.
