On July 1, 2005, China Development Bank and Vnesheconombank (VEB) — a Russian state-owned bank — signed a $212 million loan agreement for the pre-export activities of Russian companies and the production of various types of high-tech aviation equipment for eventual export to China. The loan carried a 1-year grace period, a 3.5 year maturity, and an interest rate of 6-month LIBOR plus a 1% margin. The loan was scheduled for repayment from June 2006 to March 2009.
