    “The need for this syndicated loan is to fund the growth in our U.S. dollar lending both in South Africa and our Regional Operations, in support of our group strategy,” said Jason Quinn, Absa Group’s financial director.

    The repayment period is two years at a 1.05% interest 1.05% per annum. Absa has a one-year extension option available at the borrower’s discretion.

    The Facility launched on 29th May 2019 to select financial institutions, at a launch amount of US$ 300,000,000 (subject to increase).
