Staff comments
1. AidData is unable to ascertain individual contributions to the RCF from members of the syndicate, nor is it able to identify all members of the lending syndicate. Therefore, the transaction amount has been left blank to avoid overcounting the contributions of the two Chinese banks. This issue warrants further investigation.
