All project loans (sovereign and non-sovereign risk) made by BSTDB will be fully assessed BSTDB on the aspects of risk / return, repayment prospects and the capacities of the borrowers’ guarantors. BSTDB may provide loans for entirely new ventures or the expansion or modernization of existing operations. Usually BSTDB will be repaid from the cash flow of the venture. In exceptional circumstances BSTDB may provide loans with maturity longer than 10 years.

 

BSTDB may act either as a member of a financing syndicate, or as a separate financier. Where BSTDB considers it appropriate to provide financing separately from the main financing syndicate, it may do so either for the general purposes of the project, or it may identify a portion or a sub-section of the project, largely independent from the overall project, which it may finance wholly or partly.
