MATARAM - The presence of the Mandalika International Circuit in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), has proven to be able to encourage the economy in the region.

Not only the tourism sector, various derivative sectors such as the need for decent hotels and housing have also skyrocketed along with the massive visits to the area, both by foreign and domestic tourists.

This condition was also utilized by PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk by preparing the Mandalika Special Home Ownership Loan Program (KPR). This special program is expected to help BTN achieve the target for distributing mortgages in 2022.

"(This special program) is only valid for a week, from March 8 to 15, 2022, with several discounts such as free administration fees, provisions and tickets to watch MotoGP at Mandalika, especially for the lucky ones," said Head of the Subsidized Mortgage Lending Division BTN, Mochamad Yut Penta, in Mataram, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, March 9.

Not only preparing special promotion programs, according to Penta, his party is also open to potential cooperation with developers or agencies, institutions or private companies who want to develop property in the Mandalika area and get subsidized mortgage facilities from Bank BTN.

"BTN continues to consistently support subsidized housing ownership for MBR (low-income communities) in the NTB area by distributing subsidized mortgages for all segments, both civil servants, private employees and entrepreneurs, through KPR Sejahtera FLPP products, KPR BP2BT and KPR BTN Tapera," said Penta .

In order to meet the increasingly rapid economic growth in NTB, he continued, BTN will continue to expand cooperation with developers to be able to provide comfortable housing and carry a green environment theme, but also remain accessible to MBR.

This year, BTN is targeting KPR distribution in NTB of IDR 280 billion, or 1,616 housing units. The target figure is claimed by Penta as a form of optimism from Bank BTN. Because, in 2021, the record for distributing BTN KPR in NTB in 2021 was still Rp. 162 billion, and even in 2020 it was still only Rp. 105 billion.

"We are optimistic that this year's target can be achieved. Moreover, we are also actively developing applications that support the property sector such as BTN Properti for Developers and Smart Residence to develop a digital housing ecosystem," said Penta.
