Abstract
This chapter presents evidence from empirical analysis which highlights the importance of other credit risks (CRs), in addition to concerns solely based on debt sustainability thresholds. Core CRs identified in the chapter include mismanagement of borrowed funds in the course of execution of infrastructure projects funded through loans. These CRs led to a number of loan performance problems hindering overall intended outcomes, and development impact. This eventually plunged the country to moderate risk to debt distress. The chapter findings point main CRs start at early stages of the project during design and appraisal stages, with implications during implementation stages. Inadequate technical capacity among technical personnel, omissions of key provisions in loan contract arrangements, inadequate oversight, quality assurance and procurement management led to substandard and incomplete works, project delays, cost overruns contributing to rising public debt. The chapter raises concerns and calls for greater attention to CRs which befall implementation of projects funded through loans.
