Housing Development Finance Corporation

Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) was incorporated in 2004, by a Presidential Decree under the Companies Act. (Act No. 10/96). HDFC’s commercial operations commenced on 29th March 2004 with hundred percent shareholding by the Government of Maldives which later in 2008 was privatized with the shareholding from ADB, IFC and HDFC Bank Ltd., (India) [Prev. HDFC Investments Ltd.] holding 51% of the share and the 49% of the shares by the Government of Maldives. HDFC is unique as the only mortgage housing institution in the Maldives. As the demand for housing loans continues to grow, which exceeds the supply, we have structured and issued long-term Bonds and Sukuk in MVR as the way forward.
