Project narrative
On December 9, 2015, China Development Bank (CDB) entered into a $15 billion facility agreement with the Government of Angola (see Record ID#66847). The facility is an oil prepayment facility with repayments being serviced through receivables from a designated oil contract. The facility agreement has a maturity of 12 years and its availability period expired on December 9, 2017. One of the subsidiary loans approved through this facility was a $48 million loan in 2016 for the Xinge-Lubalo Road Rehabilitation Project. The proceeds of this loan were used to finance a $59,421,699.45 commercial contract with China National Machinery Industry Corporation Group (SINOMACH). The project involved the rehabilitation of the Xinge-Lubalo road within Lunda Sul Province. This project entered implementation, but its precise implementation start and end dates are unknown. See Record ID#65751 for other construction projects financed through the 2015 CDB facility.
