Saudi Arabia's $925 billion sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), said on Wednesday it had signed a revolving credit facility for $15 billion with a group of 23 financial institutions, replacing a previous loan for the same amount agreed upon in 2021.
The facility will be available for three years and is extendable for two more, a PIF statement said.
A revolving loan is one that can be drawn, repaid and drawn again during the lending period.
The previous loan involved 17 banks, while the latest one includes six further financial institutions.
The group includes institutions from Europe, the U.S., the Middle East and Asia, according to the statement.
Sources previously told Reuters that the banks involved in the 2021 loan were BNP Paribas, Bank of America, Citi, Credit Agricole, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, JPMorgan, Mizuho, Morgan Stanley, Natixis, SMBC, Societe Generale and Standard Chartered.
PIF declined to say which banks were taking part in the new loan facility.
