Staff comments

1. The Burmese project title is ေတာင္ငူ-ေရႊေတာင္ဓာတ္အားလုိင္း. 2. The loan commitment year is unknown. However, since the Government of Myanmar’s Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development reports that the loan was contracted between 2006 and 2011, AidData assumes for the time being that the loan was contracted at the beginning (2006) of this period.
