Exchange rate fixed for ECRL loans, says Rahman


PETALING JAYA: There will be no foreign exchange risks from the Chinese renminbi-ringgit soft loan for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) as it will use a fixed exchange rate, Barisan Nasional strategic communications director Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said.

“There will be no exchange rate exposure for us, as at the point of the first draw-down, the renminbi-ringgit exchange rate for loan repayment purposes will be fixed for the remainder of its duration.
