Take note those intending to get new housing loans with BSP.

⚠️ BSP Home Loan Rates Are Going Up – Here’s What It Means for You (Part 1)
By Des Yaninen
**************
I saw in today's newspaper (17/4/26) that BSP is increasing interest rates for new home loan borrowers under the 2 housing loans they offer.
1. First home ownership scheme
2. Standard home loan

Here's what it means. Let’s take a simple example: 👉 A home loan balance of K400,000 👉 With 20 years remaining

🏠 First Home Loan (4% → 5.5%)

For new loans

Your repayment goes from about K2,424 → K2,752

That’s an extra K328 every month

Over time, you will pay about K78,000 more in interest

🏡 Standard Home Loan (5% → 6.5%)

For new loans

Your repayment goes from about K2,642 → K2,985

That’s an extra K343 every month

Over time, you will pay about K82,000 more in interest

💡 What does this really mean?
****************
New borrowers have to pay higheer interest rates than thise with current loans.

This change might look small on paper, but over 20 years:

You are paying K300+ more every month

And K80,000 more to the bank compared to those on previous rates.

📌 My advice
*****************

If you already have a loan:

Try to pay a little extra each month to reduce interest

Even an extra K200–K300 can save you thousands

Cut unnecessary spending. Slow down on customary obligations or bad spending habits.

If you are planning to take a loan:

1. Borrow wisely

2. Don’t just look at the monthly repayment, look at the total cost over time

These changes are real, and they will affect many families.

Make smart decisions now so you stay in control of your finances.

*******
POST UPDATE: Just confirmed rhat the interest rates here are for NEW housing loans only. Existing loans are not affected.

On the second day of the program, anticipation buzzed through the room as participants sat for a session that gave the process and procedure of property valuation. The guest speaker, Sharon Lumita Petro, a Seasoned Commercial Property Valuer, stepped forward with confidence of someone who has experience in navigating the intricate world of real estate.

Sharon began by explaining the fundamental role property valuers play in determining the worth of a property before it is bought or sold. She walked the audience through the detailed process — from assessing the location and surrounding infrastructure to examining the condition of the building, the potential for future development, and even the subtle market trends that could influence value. Her explanations brought clarity to what many had assumed was a quick or simple process, revealing instead the layers of analysis and expertise involved.

Participants listened intently as she shared real-life examples from her career — stories of properties that looked appealing on the surface but, after thorough valuation, revealed hidden issues that would have cost buyers dearly. She also spoke of undervalued gems that, with the right vision, had turned into highly profitable investments.

Beyond the technical aspects, Sharon offered practical, take-home advice. She encouraged participants to always request a written valuation report, to ask questions about the methods used, and to consider both current and future market conditions before making decisions.

By the end of her session, participants not only understood the valuation process but also felt empowered to make informed property decisions. Many left with a new appreciation for the expertise valuers bring, and for the critical role this knowledge could play in protecting their investments and maximizing their returns.

Adding to the excitement was the special appearance of Tisa Bank. Stepping forward, SME Loans Manager Mr. Jeffery Singer, accompanied by his associate Brian, began their session by introducing the vital role financial institutions play in turning real estate aspirations into reality.

Mr. Singer painted a clear picture of the journey from identifying an investment opportunity to securing the necessary funds to make it happen. He explained that for many aspiring property investors, access to capital is the single greatest hurdle, and it is here that institutions like Tisa Bank and other Financial Institutions step in as trusted partners.

Mr. Singer outlined Tisa Bank’s loan products in detail. He described eligibility criteria, the importance of maintaining good financial records. The audience listened intently as he revealed how Tisa Bank can assist with their individual investment goals, whether purchasing a single rental property or building a small portfolio.

By the end of the session, participants left not only with technical knowledge but also a sense of empowerment. They understood that with the right financial support, such as that offered by Tisa Bank and other Financial Institutions, their property investment dreams could move from ideas on paper to tangible, income-generating realities. The energy carried forward into the rest of the training, with many already planning to explore the next steps toward their first or next real estate venture.

Poroi 2 Village, Gulf Province — From July 7 to 11, Pacifund, in partnership with the Ihu Special Economic Zone (ISEZ), delivered a landmark Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) training program to the people of Poroi 2 Village, deep in the heart of Baimuru LLG, Kikori District, West Kerema.

The training, hosted by ISEZ and facilitated by Pacifund, brought new knowledge, inspiration, and financial empowerment to 43 participants — a diverse group that spanned generations and literacy levels. Led by trainer Daniel Walo and supported by assistants Judah Lionel and David Kointuo, the program offered practical, life-changing financial education to a community eager to grow.

The journey to Poroi 2 began with a river voyage up the Purari River, where the Pacifund and ISEZ teams were warmly welcomed into the village. The hospitality extended beyond a simple greeting; the team was hosted by the family of the local councilor, solidifying a bond of community and shared purpose.

Over four intensive days, participants engaged in SME-focused activities designed to reshape how they view and manage money. The training emphasized how informal economic activities can be grown into formal business ventures, giving villagers tools to start, sustain, and scale their own enterprises.

One of the most inspiring highlights was the collaboration between generations. Young participants stepped up, helping older peers grasp key concepts and complete the training side-by-side. This intergenerational teamwork underscored the program’s broader impact — not just in business knowledge, but in community building and shared growth.

On July 10, all 43 participants proudly graduated from the program, marking a historic milestone for Poroi 2 and a major achievement for Pacifund in its mission to reach remote communities across Papua New Guinea.

As Pacifund continues its mission of financial literacy and business development, this successful outreach to Poroi 2 Village stands as a powerful example of what’s possible when opportunity meets willingness — even in the most remote corners of the country.
