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 $34 million loan in 2016 for the Ledo-Lobito (Lot 1) Section and Cabo Ledo-Rio Longa Bridge Section of the EN100 Road Rehabilitation Project. The proceeds of this loan were used to finance a $35,471,053.09 commercial contract with Qingjian Group Co, Limited. The project involved the rehabilitation of two road segments along the EN100 in Luanda Province: one that runs from Ledo to Lobita (Lot 1) and another that runs from Cabo Ledo to Rio Longa Bridge. See Record ID#65751 for other construction projects financed through the 2015 CDB facility. See Record ID#73630 and Record ID#73631 for other sections of the EN100 Road Rehabilitation Project.
