Project narrative
In February 2007, a $200 million USD syndicated loan was reported in the market for Reliance Industries in India. China Construction Bank contributed $25 million USD to this loan as a mandated lead arranger. Other mandated lead arrangers included Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Calyon, Citigroup, Fortis, Mizuho and WestLB. DBS served as a sole bookrunner for this loan. The loan carries a seven year maturity period. As of February 2007, the loan was still being syndicated but China Construction Bank had already committed funding. The proceeds of the loan were to be used for capex and general corporate purposes.
Staff comments
1. Specific contributions of each financier are unknown. To calculate China Construction Bank’s contribution to this loan, AidData a) assumes that each official sector financing institution from China contributed an equal amount to the syndicated loan and (b) estimates the contributions of each financier by dividing the total face value of the loan ($200 million USD) by the total number of financiers in the syndicate (8 financiers). This brings the contribution of each individual financier to $25 million USD.
