Staff comments

1. AidData has calculated the all-in interest rate using the 6-month LIBOR for October 2011 (0.595%). For more information, see: https://www.global-rates.com/en/interest-rates/libor/american-dollar/2011.aspx 2. AidData is unable to ascertain individual contributions made by each member of the syndicate, therefore equal contributions from each lender have been assumed (875/20). 3. Information on which tranche(s) the two Chinese banks contributed to is unknown, therefore the average maturity across the two tranches has been used in the creation of this project record.
