Rationale
With inflation at 2.5% and rates at 4.5%, high borrowing costs are suppressing housing demand and overall consumer confidence. Modestly boosting consumer spending through targeted tax credits for first-time homebuyers can stimulate the housing sector without triggering inflationary pressure, supporting GDP growth and long-term economic stability.
