Dubai Islamic Bank is the market leader in providing home finance through Roshan Apna Ghar (RAPG), a product providing subsidized financing to overseas Pakistanis, with ease of reparability of funds. The Bank also holds a significant share in mortgage finance market and this collaboration will further strengthen our role in this sector.”

Tarek Hamdy, CEO of EIGHTEEN, expressed his views, saying, “It is indeed a historic moment for both the institutions, as we recognize the importance of mutual co-operation for the growth and support of housing sector in the country. Such collaborations will play a key role in the promotion of off plan and on plan housing finance and realizing the government’s vision of attracting investment of overseas Pakistanis in the real estate sector of Pakistan.” Dubai Islamic Bank is currently operating with 235 branches in 67 cities nationwide. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dubai Islamic Bank UAE (DIB). The parent company DIB is a listed company in Dubai.

DIB is the largest Islamic bank in the UAE and 2nd largest in the world. Eighteen is Pakistan’s first lifestyle destination developed by Egypt’s Ora Developers in partnership with Saif Group and Kohistan Builders.
