📋 Staff Comments

Portuguese project title: Construção de um Hotel na Província de HuilaNo sources explicitly state that this is a buyer's credit loan. AidData assumes this is the case for the following reasons: (1) The loan is provided to a foreign borrower, (2) the loan is denominated in USD, (3) the financing amount covers 85% of the commercial contract which is typically observed of buyer's credit loans. However, it should be noted that SAIS-CARI's Chinese Loans to Africa Database characterizes this as just a loan.This Huila hotel project is separate from project #67370, which captures a China Eximbank $20.492 million buyer's credit loan for Namibe Hotel Construction and Rehabilitation Project. All of the financing and implementation details are the same, but multiple official sources clearly differentiate between the two.
