President Kuczynski, elected this year, expect built houses in next five years: in urban areas.
CAPECO considers that to achieve this goal is required overcome the following structural problems affecting Peruvian housing market:
Soil. Lack of urban land for formal projects, social housing especially
Sanitation. Growing difficulty in obtaining water and sewage facilities for these projects.
Subsidies and financing. Insufficient state funds. To promote houses: US$ 3.2 billions in loans and US$ 2.5 billions in subsidies.
Simplification. Construction permits procedures too long, expensive and unpredictable
Security. Violence and informality in building works.
