Iran's Roads Minister Says Tehran Housing-Project Loans Will Be Reviewed Against Construction Progress

Iran's Roads and Urban Development Minister Farzaneh Sadegh said on Wednesday evening, November 4, 2026, after a Tehran provincial housing council meeting that about 50% of bank financing for housing projects in the province has yet to be disbursed. She said the governor's office will hold a special meeting to settle payments in line with each project's physical progress and that the central bank will work with lenders to speed up financing.

Sadegh also said the National Housing Fund has allocated money for infrastructure in the new towns of Parand and Pardis, with additional funding still being pursued. Her remarks concern project financing across Tehran province; they do not say the outstanding loans have been paid or that infrastructure for all units is complete.
