Grant Description

ICBC expresses interest in financing 5,000 Affordable Housing Units Construction Project On June 29, 2016, China Great Wall Industry Co., Ltd.( China Great Wall) and Banque Congolaise de l'Habitat (BCH) signed a $300 million EPC+F contract for the 5,000 Affordable Housing Units Construction Project.

Under the terms of the contract, 15% of the funding for the project would be self-raised by BCH, and BCH would seek the rest of the 85% of the funds from Chinese financial institutions. BCH began negotiations with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) for financing the project by 2019. However, as of 2022, a financing agreement had not been finalized.

The project has a total expected construction period of 36 months and is divided into three phases of implementation. The first phase is expected to cost $100 million and it is scheduled to take place in Brazzaville North. The second phase is expected to cost $110 million and it is scheduled to take place in Brazzaville South.

The third phase is expected to cost $90 million and it is scheduled to take place in Pointe Noire.
