This represents only the official figures excluding Real Estate Development Fund (REDF) financing. If you compare this number to the consumer finance and other corporate finance products, it is very small. The reason is that the population of Saudi Arabia is viewed as a young population and mortgages are now something that is becoming a necessity for people in Saudi Arabia because of their gradual ageing.

In order to do product planning you need data and unfortunately accurate data is not available in Saudi. If you want to plan for the next five years you need to know how many houses are going to be built, how many exist, how many are going out of the market, how many permits have been approved etc. all of this data is not currently available or it is available but it’s not accurate.
