How can someone call this a soft loan?

An example of a soft loan is China's Export-Import Bank, who gave a $2 billion soft loan to Angola in October 2004 to help build infrastructure. In return, the Angolan government gave China a stake in oil exploration off the coast.[2]

The field of natural finance uses the term "soft loan" as an enforced ability–based repayment loan where the softness is not based on below market interest, but rather on terms that do not include fixed dates for repayment, but do mandate repayment when borrower is able to. [citation needed] What exactly is "natural finance"? ––Prügelprinz (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
