Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 15, 2003, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and the Government of Ethiopia's Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MOFED) signed an RMB 50 million loan agreement for unspecified purposes. The loan carried a 21.5 year maturity (final maturity date: June 30, 2025), a 10 year grace period, and a 0% interest rate. The proceeds of the loan were on-lent by MOFED to the Addis Ababa City Administration. The loan was eventually rescheduled, such that the borrower was responsible for making ten, equal, consecutive, annual principal payments between December 31, 2028 and June 30, 2038.
