N. Kettiros: Positive Development for Refugee Community with Increased Disposable Income

MP Nikos Kettiros of AKEL described as positive the extension of the housing interest rate subsidy for displaced borrowers, as it will increase the disposable income of thousands of families. This change came after an amendment by AKEL and was approved by a majority. At the same time, the President's referral to an AKEL amendment regarding the subsidy of loans for those who missed the initial deadline was discussed, which will be debated in plenary session next Thursday. Mr. Kettiros expressed hope that the Ministry of Finance will not attempt to reverse the decision.
