PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) President Director Nixon L.P. Napitupulu has proposed extending the tenor, or repayment period, for mortgages under the Housing Financing Liquidity Facility (FLPP) to as long as 40 years. This initiative is aimed at making homeownership more accessible to a wider segment of the population.
Napitupulu believes that a longer repayment period would directly translate into lower monthly installments for borrowers. This reduction in the financial burden is expected to significantly improve affordability, enabling more individuals and families to secure housing loans that they might otherwise find unmanageable with shorter tenor options.

By adjusting the mortgage structure, the bank seeks to stimulate the housing market and provide a crucial pathway for citizens to achieve homeownership, aligning with national housing development goals.
