Deputy Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) Fahri Hamzah said Qatari investor Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Thani would sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) related to funding for 1 million housing units today.

The signing of the MoU will be carried out at the State Palace and will be witnessed by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto.

This was conveyed by Fahri after attending a coordination meeting and discussing the 2025 work plan with five technical ministers at the office of the Coordinating Ministry for Regional Infrastructure and Development (IPK), Jakarta, Wednesday, January 8.

"Incidentally I was invited to the palace to witness the signing of the MoU for funding 1 million houses from Qatar," said Fahri.

Fahri said, after signing the MoU, there would be a technical meeting to discuss the stages of land selection to permit processing.

"The technical scheme will certainly be held at a meeting later. There will be a more technical meeting when the stages of land selection are carried out, permit management and so on," he said.

According to Fahri, the government welcomes the plan to support the achievement of the 3 million house program made by Prabowo Subianto.

"So, the government only facilitates anyone from all over the world who wants to come to enliven the program of 3 million houses a year by the President (Prabowo). We welcome everyone and coincidentally this is quite a quick opportunity and we facilitate it," he concluded.

Previously, the Head of the Hashim Djojohadikusumo Housing Task Force (Kasatgas) believed that the target of building 15 million housing units in 5 years of President Prabowo Subianto's administration would be achieved.

Hashim said that Prabowo had conveyed that there was a desire from the Qatari Government to finance 5 million housing units. Then, there are investors from Qatar who will help 1 million housing units.

"I also visited Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi government said I would help 1 million housing units. So, these two countries are willing to finance 7 million housing units," said Hashim in a written statement, Thursday, December 26, 2024.
