Introduction

The syndicated loan is a financing method evolved from bilateral loan. Under the arrangement of syndicated loan, one bank or several banks (as the arrangers) organize other banks to grant loans to the same borrower under one loan agreement according to agreed terms.

Syndicated loans have the following features:

Huge amount, long term; fewer restriction on the use of proceeds (compared with government loans and export credit); easier management (compared with loans borrowed separately from different banks); less pressure on banks; diversified risk.
