Shoko and her supervisor, Anik, from ABC Bank’s Mumbai branch discuss the proposal for Bindi.
I appreciate your ambition to pursue the position of the lead manager. The total amount of $500 million seems reasonable, but Bindi wants a five-year loan instead of three this time. If we aim to become the lead manager, we should put up a proportionally bigger share of the loan-say, 60 percent of the total. Do you think Tokyo will approve?
60 percent of $500 is $300 million and for 5years. Hmm, the duration of the loan might be an issue, but I’ll try keep your finger crossed!
I will, Shoko. Any thoughts on which banks we should invite?
Japanese regional banks might hesitate to commit beyond 3 years, but my gut tells me that East Asian and Middle Eastern banks would be eager to participate.
