Corona Loans Interest 2.9%

Main ENNIA branch

THE HAGUE--The Netherlands is asking for an interest of 2.9% for the refinancing of the COVID-19 loans to Curaao and St. Maarten.

Dutch State Secretary for Kingdom Relations Zsolt Szab announced this to the Second Chamber of Parliament in The Hague. Now that both countries and the Central Bank have also signed the ENNIA Main Lines Agreement, Curaao and Sint Maarten will pay the low interest on this refinancing, he wrote.

During the pandemic-related crisis, Curaao and Aruba each borrowed an amount of 900,000 in Netherlands Antillean guilders and Aruban florins respectively Read more
