Project narrative
Prior to the end of 2009, the Chinese Government provided an RMB 23.3 million concessional loan to the Government of Vietnam for the Nam Dinh Textile Factory Upgrading and Expansion Project. The project, which sought to upgrade and expand the Nam Dinh Textile Factory, reached completion status by 2006.
Staff comments
1. One of the sources records the face value of the loan amount as RMB 233.3 million (see "Assessing China's Impact on Poverty in the Greater Mekong Subregion"), but for the time being AidData relies on the more conservative amount of RMB 23.3 million (see "Living next to the giant," p. 86). 2. It is unclear when the Chinese Government issued the loan. For the time being, AidData codes the commitment year as 2009 because one source identifies the project in a table (Table 5-1) with data up to "the end of 2009" (see "Living next to the giant," p. 86).
