Agreement of International Development Association (the Association) hereby submits its
recommendation pursuant to said Section in respect of the proposal that the Association grant to
the Republic of Nicaragua an additional credit in an amount of ten million Dollars
(USD10,000,000).      The purpose of said additional credit is to provide additional funds to
supplement the financial assistance furnished by the Association under the Financing Agreement

credit, and of the purpose to which the proceeds of the additional credit are to be applied.

proceeds of such additional credit are to be applied continues to come within the purposes of the
Association as set forth in Article I of said Articles of Agreement, and that said Project is
designed to promote the economic development of the Republic of Nicaragua, and is of high
developmental priority in the light of the needs of the Republic of Nicaragua.
