“I decide to attract in 2019 the external state loan of the Shanghai branch of the China Development Bank in the amount of 3.5 billion Chinese yuan,” RIA Novosti quotes a decree published on the national legal Internet portal.
It is noted that the loan term is five years.
It is also indicated in the text that the decree was adopted with a view to “paying off and servicing the state debt”.
