Loan Aid

 


ODA Loans make development funds available to developing countries at low interest rates and with long repayment periods. These loans provide funds to develop and improve the economic and social infrastructure necessary to support self-help efforts and sustainable economic development. Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is the implementation agency for Japan’s ODA loans.

A large portion of Japanese ODA especially that extended to middle level developing countries has been in the form of loans because Japan believes that ODA should be used to support the self help efforts of developing countries. ODA loans, with their repayment obligations, are more effective in facilitating development in meddle-level developing countries, making the recipient governments more carefully appraise how such loans are effectively and efficiently allocated for specific projects.

History of Japan’s ODA loan to the Philippines goes back to 1968. Since then, Japan has continuously supported the Government of the Philippines in various fields including construction of roads and bridges, development of railways and airports, flood control projects and environmental management projects. Japan’s ODA Loans to the Philippines exceed US$ 18.5 billion (E/N bases) cumulatively up to the year 2003.
