Housing and Commerce Bank

The Housing and Commerce Bank was founded on 1994-01-01 under the name Housing Bank of Eritrea. It's original mission was to provide services to mitigate the acute housing shortage after the Eritrean War for Independence. The name was changed in 1996 when the majority shareholder, the People's Front for Democracy and Justice, decided that it should become a full-fledged bank.cite book| last=Rena | first=Ravinder | title=Financial Institutions in Eritrea |id= ISBN 0-9802534-8-9 | publisher=New Africa Press | year=2006]
