Description

On March 31, 2012, China Eximbank and the Government of Cambodia signed an RMB 209,000,000 government concessional loan (GCL) agreement [China Eximbank GCL No. 2012 (52) Total No. (402)] for Phase 2 of the Kanghot Irrigation Development Project. The borrowing terms of the loan were as follows: 20-year maturity, 7-year grace period, and 1.25% interest rate. The proceeds from the loan were used to partially finance an EPC contract with Guangdong Foreign Construction Company (GDFC). The purpose of the project was to construct an irrigation system in the Kanghot (or Kang-hot or Konghot) area within Battambang Province. GDFC was the EPC contractor responsible for implementation. The project began on November 1, 2012 and was completed on November 1, 2016.
