US$93.7 million to purchase 8 Super Tucano jet planes from Brazil.
US$80 million for the construction of a set of libraries and the new National Archives.
US$60.9 million to finance the Las Placetas hydroelectric dam. That project is being constructed through the State Run Electric Companies (CDEEE).
