CARACAS (Dow Jones)--Venezuela state oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela, or PDVSA, has signed a deal for a $1.5 billion loan in which China Development Bank Corp. and Banco Espirito Santo SA are the global coordinators and bookrunners of the facility, according to a statement from the banks.
CDB and BES are being joined by a wide group of leading international banks to provide the loan, the statement said.
The facility is a three-year amortizing trade-related term loan priced at 450 basis points over Libor, with a nine-month grace period, the statement said.
PDVSA President Rafael Ramirez indicated late last month such a loan was being arranged. At the time, he said a separate line of credit was also being worked out, but declined to provide further details.
