📋 Staff Comments
  1. Since no further information was found, Aiddata assumes that each of the 20 lenders contributed equally at 31,750,000 USD.
  2. Aiddata calculates the interest rate by adding the 6-month LIBOR rate + basis points. In April 2014, the 6-month LIBOR rate was 0.842% + 1.45% = 2.292%
