IMPROVING AND EXPANDING HOUSING FINANCE SYSTEMS

June 3-13, 2013

Philadelphia, PA, USA

The need for objective and analytical education in housing finance has never been greater. Many countries are transforming their housing finance systems but the global credit crisis has created uncertainty. Both policy makers and private practitioners need cutting-edge information on the sector. This program addresses that need by providing an intensive period of education in policy innovations, and institutional, financial, and managerial aspects of housing finance. It has two objectives:

• To enhance the professional ability of the participants.
• To improve the short- and long-term effectiveness of their sponsoring organizations and the housing finance system in their countries.

Participants come from private housing finance institutions, government finance agencies, academia and international development agencies from both emerging and advanced economies.
