SINGAPORE - The Housing and Development Board (HDB) incurred a deficit of $1,639 million in the financial year of 2015/2016, according to its annual report released on Thursday (Oct 13).
The deficit from home ownership alone amounted to $1,179 million - which comprises sale of flats, CPF housing grants disbursed and the loss for flats currently under development.
Compared to the previous financial year, home ownership deficit was down 32.7 per cent from $1,753 million.
The HDB attributed this drop in deficit to the tapering off of flat supply.
"With the overall public housing market showing continued signs of stabilising, HDB has gradually tapered off the supply of new flats since 2014," said the HDB in a statement.
"As a result, fewer contracts were awarded for the development of flats in FY2015/2016, hence accounting for the lower deficit from 'home ownership'."
In the same financial year, the HDB launched three sales exercises for Build-To-Order flats. These exercises offered over 15,000 flats across 19 projects.
The previous financial year saw the launch of 19,800 flats.
