The program was initiated to ensure that adequate housing is provided to lower- and middle-income classes. The project also aimed at improving economic activities in the construction sector.

The circular issued by the SBP further stated that in cases where partial disbursements have already been made till June 30, 2022, banks may release the remaining disbursements under the MPMG scheme.
