Household Debt Versus Home Ownership

Carmelo Ferlito, Senior Fellow at Institute of Democracy and Economic Affairs warns that household debt in Malaysia remains stubbornly high at 82.2% and that relaxing the prudent guidelines for home loans is not a solution. He also talks about the need for Malaysia to provide rental properties for the most disadvantaged in the country as their needs for housing are immediate.
