Description
On March 16, 2017, the Chinese Government and the Lebanese Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) signed an exchange of letters to extend the repayment period of a previously contracted interest-free loan by 5 years. The specific interest-free loan associated with this debt restructuring is unknown.
Additional details
As China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) is responsible for the vast majority of China's interest-free loans, AidData has assumed that it was the Chinese Government institution that provided the original loan and thus was responsible for its later restructure.
