Overview

The Housing Sector plays a critical role in the pursuit of economic growth and development in every nation – especially developing economies. With the overwhelming housing deficit in many developing economies (creating billion dollar opportunities in the sector), mortgage banks and institutions, commercial and retail banks, development finance institutions, and even government agencies have an enormous challenge in ensuring the mobilization of long-term funds, extending mortgage facilities, and expanding of mortgage lending services to all segments of the economy.

 

Achieving these objectives involves the critical and enormous role of creating, managing, controlling, administering, monitoring, working out, and recovering of various sizes of mortgage loan facilities granted to their numerous clients/ customers. And to perform these roles effectively, it is imperative that every staff must be thoroughly grounded in credit risk analysis and management skills – with special focus on credit assessment and control, non-performing loan work-out and recovery strategies, customer relationship management tools and practices, and strategic management and leadership skills.

This programme is uniquely designed to equip the participants with the thorough understanding of the strategic imperatives for successful mortgage lending as well as develop the skills to effectively monitor, work-out, and recover non-performing or delinquent mortgage loans in their books with a view to enabling their institutions achieve their strategic objectives.
