In June 2004, a group of banks -- including Bank of China's Hong Kong and Singapore branches -- signed a $1 billion syndicated dual-tranche loan facility agreement with Malaysia Airlines Berhad (Penerbangan Malaysia). The facility was guaranteed by the Malaysian Ministry of Finance. The borrowing terms that applied to the two loan tranches are unknown.
