In a statement, the Ministry of Finance stated that the changes seek to “expand access to housing credit to average income families, promote greater equality among sources of financing and ensure lower interest rates for this audience”.
In the case of track 3, a resolution provides for the offer to borrowers of the same funding conditions currently committed in FGTS resources operations, including nominal interest rate of 8.16% per year + Referential Rate (TR), with a percentage discount for FGTS quota holders.

The second resolution allows the application of the middle class program operations of the same rates established in the case of FGTS resource operations.
“This program combines FGTS resources with funding of financial institutions (such as savings and LCI), allowing credit to more competitive rates than those currently practiced and, with FGTS funds, will also allow us to expand the housing credit available to this audience,” said the farm.
The ministry clarified that, with the normative change approved, “even with the use of combined resources, the tariffs charged” at funding of the middle class program will be “the same of typical FGTS resources operations.”
