Simply put,<br /><br />HDB rate = CPF OA rate + 0.1%.<br /><br />This fact may be also related to why CPF rates have been kept relatively constant at 2.5% even when there have been suggestions from the government to tie CPF rates to long term government bond rates.<br /><br />But just the installment payments alone will deplete CPF savings and the power of compounding will be lost.

Unless he plans to double the medium household income, the average family will not be able to afford a four-room flat.<br /><br />Further, if income stagnates, the price of HDB flat will have to fall.
