Initially, it covered only new apartments in blocks erected on plots allocated by the City Hall. Afterward, the package of offers was extended to attic-like apartments and old apartments. The loans released within the program are repaid in 10 to 30 years at an interest rate of 9% a year. Until the loan is repaid, the purchased apartments are pledged with the bank.
