(Taipei, April 29, Central News Agency reporter Wang Yang-wen) The New Youth Housing Loan is set to expire at the end of July this year. Kuomintang Legislator Yen Kuan-heng and others today expressed concern about the 'New Youth Housing Loan 2.0' policy. Finance Minister Chuang Tsui-yun said that a definitive direction should be available by the end of June, and external speculations are all rumors. Once the Executive Yuan finalizes the content of the plan, it will be announced to the public.
The Legislative Yuan's Finance Committee reviewed the central government's general budget for fiscal year 2026 for the Ministry of Finance and other units this morning. Chuang Tsui-yun and others attended to explain and answer questions.
Kuomintang Legislator Lin Te-fu inquired when the New Youth Housing Loan 2.0 policy would be finalized and what the differences between the 2.0 and 1.0 versions would be. He hoped that the public would be informed two months before the policy's implementation.
Yen Kuan-heng said that many citizens are concerned about the direction and timeline of the government's second wave of New Youth Housing Loan. He hoped that there would be no gap between New Youth Housing Loan 1.0 and 2.0, and that the system must seamlessly transition and connect smoothly.
Chuang Tsui-yun said that the Youth Housing Loan aims to help young people and citizens without their own homes purchase houses, with the government providing relevant assistance. The New Youth Housing Loan expires this July, and for the follow-up, the Ministry of Finance has held multiple inter-ministerial meetings to discuss and listen to opinions. Because it involves multiple aspects such as housing market supply, financial markets, public demand, the effectiveness of the New Youth Housing Loan, as well as government funding and the capital costs of public banks, an overall evaluation must be made.
Chuang Tsui-yun pointed out that after the evaluation is completed, the relevant plan will be submitted to the Executive Yuan. Once the Executive Yuan finalizes and approves it, it will be announced and explained to the public. As for external speculations, they are just rumors, and explanations will be given to the public after the plan is finalized.
