ISLAMABAD (September 24 2008): German and Canadian construction companies have signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to construct 200,000 low-cost houses/flats in major cities of the country under Prime Minister's housing scheme. Under the MOU, the two construction companies will invest 500 million dollars in the initial phase and plan to invest an additional two billion euros in PM's housing project for the poor, needy and shelterless people.
