Description
In 2011 China signed Phase II of a 'Master Loan Program,' which began in 2006. The first phase (captured in Project ID #45047), gave a $500 million loan for development projects. In April 2011, China Ex-Im bank and the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia signed the second round agreement, awarding another $500 million to Ethiopia. The Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Sofian Ahmed who also signed the loan agreement on behalf of the Ethiopian government said that the money will be used to implement 15 development projects, which have already been designed by the government. It is assumed that the lending terms for this loan is similar to the master facility agreement signed in 2006: 13 year maturity and an interest rate of LIBOR + a 2-3% margin. The interest rate is calculated using average 6M LIBOR in 2011 (0.507%) + 2.5% = 3.007%.
