This was made clear Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to President Cristina Fernandez and ministers with whom he met during his visit to the country. They are not insignificant investments , totaling USD 6,800 million. But for now , there will be more .<\/p>\n

The start of construction of dams santacruce\u00f1as was on top of Chinese priorities. That country will USD 4,714 million that the work is valued . This is an unprecedented outlay for the Chinese in a third country and , at the same time , the most expensive work conceived Kirchner . Possibly , Xi and Cristina involved a kind of foundation stone laying by videoconference.<\/p>\n
A consortium composed Electroingenier\u00eda , Osvaldo Acosta company and Gerardo Ferreyra, and carry forward the Chinese Gezhouba dam construction . 100% financing is awarded the China Development Bank (CDB ), providing a 15 -year LIBOR rate plus 3.8%. Sinosure insurance is involved in the credit.

In total , they come between u USD\u00a03,800 and 3,900 million to the country ; the rest will be used to buy turbines in China.
\nThe Belgrano Cargo is the other major priority of the Chinese government. There too the CDB financed much of the work, although the Argentine State shall provide s about USD\u00a0200 million. In this case , the CBD provides a loan of USD\u00a0\u00a02,099 million\u00a0to 7.1 % , and a 15 year term . Of that money , USD\u00a01,235 million will go to work (and therefore enter the country ) and the rest to buy cars and locomotives from China. The Belgrano charges is of strategic importance to China: it looks like the gateway to the port of raw materials to purchase to Argentina .<\/p>\n
Similarly , a work in which the Chinese mildly put the eye is the bi-oceanic corridor Agua Negra , in San Juan , which would open a goods issue for the Pacific. The Binational Entity Agua Negra tunnel ( Ebitan ) should announce in the coming weeks what consortia are finalists in the bidding for the work, valued at USD\u00a01,275 billions .
