KARACHI: Attock Ce­­ment Pakistan Ltd (ACPL) has recently concluded the financial close of syndicated term finance facility of Rs9.7 billion under the State Bank Of Pakistan’s Temporary Eco­­­­nomic Refinance Facility and Long-Term Financing Faci­lity through a consortium of banks led by MCB Bank Ltd, who acted as agent bank on behalf of the other financiers, which includes Allied Bank Ltd and the Bank of Punjab.
