Low Income
Upper-middle and high income
households live in housing built by
themselves or built by the private sector
Middle income households often occupy
formal, but low quality housing
Low-income households live in slums
and squatter settlements, or in low-cost
rental housing; the informal sector is the
main provider

• increase in per capita income and saving capacity
due to the national development projects and
changing political and economic situation;
• increase of foreign investment in industrial and
service sectors as well as agricultural mechanization
resulting in more urbanization.

• With around 12 million households in Myanmar,
calculated at household size of 4.7, an annual demand
for housing is around 300,000 units.

Housing Demand and Supply
In Yangon, 36,000 Housing Units have been built from 2005
to 2010 for 5 years and , average 7,200 units of housing
were produced annually.
The demand for housing is 3.5 times of provision during
last decade while average increased households per year is
about 26,000 to 30,000 .
> 70% of Residential units are produced by the private
sector and much more profit orienting and targeting on
high income group.
Mandate on Housing Policy and Housing Provision (social
as well as market demand) is essential for balanced and
sustainable growth of socio-economic development
11. Housing Provision by Public Sector
30% of City population is living in slum and squatter
which is needed for improvement of living standard as
well as proper housing solution
Most important gap is very high cost for housing and
people’s affordability of very low income level
Government sets the priority focus on affordable and low
cost housing provision
Housing Mortgage and Financing Mechanism is now
established and planning to be practice
Promotion of Construction Industry and its development
and establishment of Myanmar CIDB for quality building
Enactment of Legal framework for Building and Property
market development
MAIN PROVIDER - DHSHD’S Housing Delivery

Driving Demand for Quality
Under Supply on appropriate Residential and Commercial property
market
Shortage in High Quality Development (quality offices, apartments,
hotels, and retail spaces are all in short supply)
Undergoing rapid transformation, including inflow of international
investment
Significant demand for Land and quality space in Yangon
Developers are focus on high-end projects in Yangon
Flight for changes of Quality in the Real Estate Market
Need for enactment of Legal framework for property market
development
