The documents concern loans amounting in value to $350 million from KFAED to projects to be implemented by the three ministries, he told KUNA.
Under the first draft deal the fund will offer $150 million loan to the Ministry of Electricity and Energy to launch power generating stations, Al-Bader disclosed.
