Formal sector workers will soon start contributing five per cent of their monthly income towards a proposed housing fund as part of a government plan to increase home ownership among the urban population.

The State Department for Housing and Urban Development said it was finalising a set of regulations to put into operation the Housing Fund, which will also require employers to match their employees’ contribution to the scheme.
