This refers to yen-denominated national credit provided by the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (now the Japan Bank for International Cooperation) or the Export-Import Bank of Japan (now the Japan Bank for International Cooperation) based on an intergovernmental agreement to support the economic development and welfare of developing countries or the improvement of their balance of payments. It is also called a direct loan. Official Development Assistance (ODA) This is a loan provided directly to a recipient country, excluding indirect aid to international organizations, etc., and is implemented by the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund, with a very small exception. Yen loans are divided into the following types based on their purpose: (1) Project loan A loan for a specific project. A loan that covers multiple projects by providing an aid frame. (2) Sector loan A loan provided for multiple projects in a certain sector, such as a bank loan. (3) Program loan A loan provided to overcome difficulties in the balance of payments and support economic stability, including commodity aid. Not only do yen loans occupy an important position in Japan's ODA, but the scale of funds they provide is extremely large by international standards, with low interest rates and a high untied rate with no conditions or restrictions attached.
