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 $38 million loan in 2016 for the Breakwater at Cabinda Port Project. The proceeds of this loan were used to finance a $65 million commercial contract with China Gezhouba Group Company, Limited (CGGC). The project involved the construction of a breakwater at the Port of Cabinda. The project reportedly entered implementation in 2016 and finished around 2018. See Record ID#65751 for other construction projects financed through the 2015 CDB facility.
