President Leonel Fernandez has instructed that generation companies will also benefit from the 40% credit the country will be taking to purchase fuel, extending the scope of beneficiaries of the loan the country will be taking on. The government reached an agreement to differ payment of petroleum imports. The agreement goes a step beyond credit facilities already extended as part of the San Jose agreement with Venezuela. The terms of the financing of fuel purchased from the state-owned Petroleos Venezolanos have not been made public.
