The Treasury Wednesday announced that it was teaming up with the private sector to establish a wholesale company that will finance commercial banks and saccos to enable them disburse affordable home loans to low-income earners.

The new entity, to be known as the Kenya Mortgage Refinance Company (KMRC), will be incorporated by end of this month and will start raising capital ahead of its launch in mid-February next year.
