The MoF will work with relevant ministries and sectors to study some financial institutions, such as housing savings fund, real estate investment funds and real estate trust funds, to mobilise financial sources for the real estate market and to gradually reduce dependence on capital from credit institutions.

These cities and provinces also arrange investment to essential infrastructure in and out of social housing projects, especially in areas with large numbers of workers.
