Additional details

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.
