AfDB Signs $400m to Support Mozambique LNG project

The African Development Bank had recently approved a long-term senior loan of $400 million to support the building of an integrated liquefied natural gas plant, including a liquifaction facility in mozambique, which is expected to become one of the world’s largest LNG exporters.

According to a statement, the AfDB said the Mozambique LNG Area 1 project, ranked Africa’s single largest foreign direct investment to date, comprised a global team of energy developers and operators, led by Total alongside Mitsui, Oil India, ONGC Videsh Limited, Bharat Petroleum, PTT Exploration, as well as the country’s national oil and gas company ENH.

The bank joins a global syndicate of commercial banks, development finance institutions and export credit agencies to jointly provide the requisite senior debt financing for the project. Financial close is expected within the first half of 2020.

The group of investors reached a final investment decision in June on the project, which carries a price tag in excess of $20 billion, thereby facilitating the initial commercialization of one of the world’s most important gas discoveries in the last two decades.

AfDB president Akinwumi Adesina added that, “Through its participation, the African Development Bank again demonstrates its leading role in supporting Africa’s transformation.”
