Reda Lashin emphasized the need for at least 500 thousand new housing units annually to meet demand, while current supply is only around 60 thousand units. The influx of approximately 12 million Arab refugees has also contributed to increased real estate prices.

The current Iron prices reflect a cautious market, but government initiatives offer optimism for investors and developers, suggesting a potential recovery and increased supply in the coming months.
