Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In late 2013, the Hungarian Electricity Private Limited Company (Magyar Villamos Művek Zártkörűen működő Részvénytársaság or MVM Zrt.) — a Hungarian state-owned power company responsible for the production, distribution and sale of electricity — signed a multi-currency, revolving loan agreement (worth EUR 200 million) with the Hungary Branch of Bank of China for general corporate purposes. The organizations had previously signed a EUR 300 million letter of intent agreement on September 9, 2013. The loan carried a maturity of 5 (3+1+1) years. Then, on September 25, 2015, the multi-currency, revolving loan agreement was ‘upsized’ to EUR 250 million. In 2018, the multi-currency, revolving loan agreement was ‘upsized’ again to EUR 350 million and the maturity was extended from 5 years to 7 years. The borrower (MVM Zrt.) made the following drawdowns on the multi-currency, revolving loan agreement between 2014 and 2021: HUF 11.774 billion in 2014 (captured via Record ID#91314), EUR 50 million in 2015 (captured via Record ID#91490), HUF 15.613 billion in 2015 (captured via Record ID#91540), HUF 45.5 billion in 2016 (captured via Record ID#91541), HUF 68.8 billion in 2017 (captured via Record ID#91542), HUF 33.2 billion in 2019 (captured via Record ID#91543), HUF 65.4 billion in 2020 (captured via Record ID#91544), and HUF 66 billion in 2021 (captured via Record ID#91545).

1. Some sources (see http://cn.brnn.com/n3/2021/0210/c414912-9818286.html and http://www.china-ceec.org/eng/zywj/ldrhhcgwj/202201/t20220128_10636053.htm) refer to an EUR 350 million loan agreement. However, this appears to be a reference to the original EUR 250 loan agreement and the EUR 100 million top-up agreement. 2. Some sources refer to the value of the 2017 drawdown as USD 90 million, EUR 50 million and HUF 30 billion.
