National Social Security Association (NSSA) owned National Building Society (NBS) is aiming to raise $150 million dollars or the construction of 10 000 housing units this year. This is part of the bank’s target to build 100 000 houses over the next five years. The NBS aims to raise the money by floating a series of bonds in the second half of the year.
