The Minister, who appeared on Arise TV’s News Programme on Wednesday, said the proposed $5.5 billion loan was made up of two components which are the refinancing of heritage debts of the past administration to the tune of $3 billion and new borrowing of $2.5 billion for the 2017 Budget.
She said, “Let me explain the $5.5 billion borrowing because there have been some misrepresentations in the media in the last few weeks.
“The first component of $2.5 billion, represents new external borrowing provided for in the 2017 Appropriation Act to part finance the deficit in that Budget.

“The second component represents $3 billion for refinancing of heritage debts of the past administration.”
