The uptake of affordable home loans under Kenya Mortgage Refinancing Company (KMRC) declined by more than two-thirds in the nine months to September, partly reflecting the erosion of household earnings in an elevated inflation environment.

Latest data shows loans which were refinanced by KMRC in the review period plunged 69.03 percent to 606 mortgages compared to 1,957 loans in a similar period last year.
