Extract

On May 26, 1964, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and its affiliate, the International Development Association (IDA), joined with the United States Agency for International Development (AID) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to provide the equivalent of $39 million to the government of Ecuador to assist a $62.2 million, five-year, national highway program. The International Bank loan amounted to $9 million, the IDA credit to $8 million, the AID loan to $13.3 million, and the IDB loan to $6 million. In September 1963 AID had made a previous loan of $2.7 million for the program; the remaining costs of $23.2 million were to be covered by the government of Ecuador.

18 In all IDA credit operations summarized in this section, the credits were for a term of 50 years and repayment of the principal would begin after a ten-year period of grace. Thereafter, one percent of the principal would be repayable annually for ten years and 3 percent would be repayable annually for the final 30 years. The credits were free of interest but a service charge of ¾ of one percent per annum on the amounts withdrawn and outstanding would be made to meet IDA's administrative costs.
