JAKARTA - Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning (PKP) Maruarar Sirait emphasized the importance of housing developers maintaining public trust by building quality housing in accordance with applicable regulations.

Maruarar Sirait or commonly known as Ara said the government would be fair to all developers who have a commitment to provide decent homes for the community. However, the government will also not hesitate to provide guidance and sanctions to developers who violate the rules and harm consumers.

"I as a minister will be fair to developers. I hope that there will be no more developers that I will scold or sanction. If you have good innovations, of course the government will support," said Ara in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday.

According to Ara, the government continues to present various policies that are in favor of the community while creating a healthy business climate for the national housing industry.

Various facilities have been prepared by the government, including the exemption of the Acquisition of Rights to Land and Building (BPHTB) tax, the exemption of Building Building Approval (PBG) for low-income people (MBR), the issuance of house certificates for free, to simplifying financing requirements so that people are easier to have a house.

He hopes that the collaboration between the government and the developer association will be stronger so that the provision of decent housing can be accelerated.

In addition, Ara assessed that digital transformation, compliance with regulations, and innovation in the property sector are important factors to strengthen the national housing ecosystem. This step is also expected to support economic growth while succeeding the 3 Million House Program which is one of the government's priorities.

Ara appealed to the people in East Java to take advantage of the FLPP subsidized housing program that the government has provided as a solution to reduce the backlog or lack of home ownership.

The government, he continued, has ensured that the interest rate for the FLPP Home Ownership Loan (KPR) will remain at 5 percent until the end of the loan period. In fact, the financing tenor can reach 40 years with a down payment (DP) starting from 1 percent of the house price.

This policy is expected to make it easier for low-income people to have their first home while accelerating the achievement of the 3 Million House Program target.
