Key
Beneficiary
In the case of UKEF’s direct lending facility this is the entity who is the borrower of the loan.
Grace period
The period during which no repayments of principal (or principal and interest) are due from borrowers to lenders. In relation to the work of the IMF/World Bank, this is usually associated with concessional financing only. This is not relevant for UKEF’s direct lending, but we have included information about the pre-credit period, which is held in UKEF systems.
Maturity
The repayment period of the loan in months.
Amount in currency (millions)
The amount and currency of the loan, in millions.
Equivalent value in GBP (millions)
For ease of comparison the currency amount has been converted into pounds sterling using the following exchange rate:
- £1 = 1.1 euros
- £1 = 1.3 US dollars
Interest rate type
An interest rate may be floating, meaning it is reset at each repayment date, or it is fixed and the same rate applies for the duration of the loan maturity. CIRRs (Commercial Interest Reference Rates) are minimum interest rates that apply to official financing support for export credits and set under the terms of the Arrangement for Officially Supported Export Credits.
