ArcelorMittal gets funding for a steel project in Algeria

11 Jan 2012

(MENAFN) Indian steel giant ArcelorMittal Group received USD200 million loan from The External Bank of Algeria (BEA) to develop Al-Hadjar Steel Complex, in which it owns 70 percent, in Annaba province east of Algiers, KUNA reported.

The step would put an end to a dispute between the Indian company and the Algerian government that risked shutting down the complex.

Algerian Prime Minister Ahmad Ouyahia affirmed that his government would intervene to prevent a possible closure of the mega project.

ArcelorMittal Group previously threatened to declare bankruptcy if it failed to obtain government funding.
