                       What Are
              Concessional (“Soft") Loans?
   A loan with a significantly below-market
    interest rate (or even zero interest), also
    known as “soft financing”;

   Long repayment periods;

   Extended grace periods, where only interest
    or service charges are due;

   Provided by governments to commercially
    non-viable projects primarily in the areas of
    health, education and environment.
