The rate will be 175 basis points above Libor,” said Hugo Jaime Garcia, director of corporate finance for Vitro, referring to the London interbank offered rate, or Libor. The loan will be syndicated by 11 banks, led by Midland Bank Plc. “It is a refinancing of short-term debt that we have, credits for 180 days that are used to finance external trade for the Envases division,” Garcia said.
