The cost for the implementation of the main road networks and infrastructural services has been included in the budget of the 2021/2022 fiscal year. It will be contracted to implement it after it is approved by the Ministry of Finance and after all the obstacles affiliated with the concerned authorities are removed. The report highlighted that the total housing applications submitted is about 95,000 as of mid-April. The housing sector is developing five-year plans for its projects that would contribute to reducing the waiting period and addressing the increase in housing applications.
