  • give private individuals the opportunity to purchase their principal private residences in Estonia;
  • encourage wider home ownership in Estonia.

Transition impact:

Home ownership and access to housing finance are hallmarks of a market-oriented economy which allows people to have a stake in the prosperity of their country. Through the HFF, the EBRD will be facilitating increased home ownership and enabling EHP to offer the types of services provided by most international banks.
