Staff comments
1. The Chinese title for the project is 总检察院办公楼项目 or 莫桑比克检察院大楼、司法部大楼、反贪局大楼等项目. 2. The RMB 308.8 million China Eximbank loan is not included in the database of Chinese loan commitments that SAIS-CARI released in 2020 and re-released in 2021. Nor is it included it in the China’s Overseas Development Finance Dataset that Boston University's Global Development Policy Center published in December 2020.
