Description
On March 19, 2009, the Export Import Bank of China (China Exim bank) and ICICI Bank signed a loan agreement for $98 million USD under a two-step buyer credit (export credit) arrangement. The ICICI Bank signed the loan agreement through its Hong Kong branch and is the first Indian bank to have entered into this arrangement with China Exim.
