印度将借给肯尼亚3000万美元来重振Rivatex

 

India to lend $30 mn to Kenya to revive Rivatex

India will lend Kenya $45 million to help develop the Rift Valley Textiles Factory (also called Rivatex) and other smaller industries. The announcement was made during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the country as part of his recent four-nation Africa tour.
The deal highlights Kenya's desire to link up with countries that can help improve its struggling manufacturing sector. India and Kenya signed a total of seven agreements during Prime Minister Modi’s visit.
“I’m also particularly pleased that the Indian Exim bank has extended a facility of $30 million which will go towards the revival of the Rivatex textile factory,” President Uhuru Kenyatta said.
The Rift Valley Textiles Factory shut down in 2000 as mismanagement of the cotton sector led to the collapse of Kenyan production.
Rivatex is currently managed by Moi University which took over the firm in 2007 after it was placed under receivership.

印度将借给肯尼亚3000万美元来重振Rivatex

印度将为肯尼亚提供4500万美元贷款,用于帮助开发东非大裂谷纺织厂(也称为Rivatex)和其他较小的行业。在莫迪总理访问该国作为他最近非洲四国之行的一部分时宣布。

这笔交易凸显了肯尼亚渴望与该国连接,可以帮助改善其苦苦挣扎的制造业。在莫迪总理访问期间，印度和肯尼亚签署共有七个协议。

“我也特别高兴的是,印度进出口银行延长3000万美元的贷款将用于Rivatex纺织厂的复苏,”总统乌呼鲁•肯雅塔说。

由于棉花行业管理不善导致肯尼亚生产崩溃， Rivatex在2000年关闭。

在Rivatex置于破产管理后，目前由Moi大学于2007年接管。
