Project narrative
On January 31, 2008, PT Bank Ekspor Indonesia (Persero), PT ANZ Panin Bank and Standard Chartered Bank led a syndicated loan of USD 70 million to PT Delta Merlin Sadang Textile. These banks were joined by PT Bank Permata, PT Bank OCBC Indonesia and Bank of China (Jakarta Branch). The allocations of the syndicated loan are unclear. The loan had an interest rate of LIBOR + a 3.75% margin, or 7.5295%. PT Delta Merlin Dunia Textile acted as the guarantor and Standard Chartered was the original lead. PT Delta Merlin Sandang Textile is a spinning industry factory that was established by Duniatex in 2003. The loan was intended to aid with capital.
Staff comments
1. The syndicated loan had a variable interest rate of 6-month LIBOR + a 3.75% margin. The interest rate of the loan that supported this project is coded based on the 6-month LIBOR at time of signing of the loan agreement. The average 6-month LIBOR rate in January 2008 was 3.7795%. The interest rate was therefore coded as 3.7795% + 3.75%, or 7.5295%. 2. The individual contributions of the syndicate members are unknown. For the time being, AidData has estimated the contribution of the Bank of China by assuming that the six lenders contributed equal amounts ($11,666,666.67) to the loan syndicate.
