Lisbon， Portugal， 22 Nov – Pardoning the debt of the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Dam （HCB） by Portugal， via the transfer agreement of the dam to Mozambique， will cost USD 1.94 billion and this will be absorbed by the Portuguese public deficit within 13 years， says a report from Portuguese business daily Jornal de Negócios.葡萄牙，里斯本，11月22日－葡萄牙商務(wù)日?qǐng)?bào)的一篇報(bào)道稱，通過向莫桑比克轉(zhuǎn)讓股權(quán)來豁免卡布拉？巴薩水電站（HCB）的債務(wù)將損失葡萄牙19.4億美元。這些損失將分擔(dān)到葡萄牙13年的財(cái)政赤字中。
According to the report， HCB‘s debt to Portugal at the end of 2004 was USD 2.89 billion， around three times more than Lisbon will receive as part of the memorandum of understanding with Mozambique， signed in November.該報(bào)道稱，2004年年底時(shí)，卡布拉？巴薩水電站（HCB）欠葡萄牙的債務(wù)是28.9億美元，大約是簽署諒解備忘錄后債務(wù)的3倍多。今年11月，葡萄牙與莫桑比克簽署了該諒解備忘錄。
Portugal will receive USD 950 million from HCB in exchange for reducing its stake in the project from 82% to 15%， and becoming a “key shareholder and strategic partner”。
葡萄牙將從HCB收回9.5億美元，以減少葡在項(xiàng)目中的股份為交換條件，股份由82%降低到15%，葡萄牙也變成了“主要股東和戰(zhàn)略伙伴”。
Mozambique will increase its stake to 85% and is expected to sell off part of this to an international investor interested in the operation of the largest dam in Southern Africa.莫桑比克的股份增加至85%，并期望將部分股份賣給感興趣的國(guó)際投資商。HCB是南非的水電站。
According to Jornal de Negócios， the amount of HCB‘s debt dropped is the equivalent of 1.1% of Portugal’s GDP and will be written off in the public deficit over a 13-year period.據(jù)葡萄牙商務(wù)日?qǐng)?bào)稱，HCB債務(wù)豁免的部分等于葡萄牙國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的1.1%，并將分擔(dān)到葡萄牙13年的財(cái)政赤字中。
This was the route the government found that would not affect next year‘s state budget or the public debt commitments to the European Commission.這樣就不會(huì)影響明年的國(guó)家財(cái)政預(yù)算或?qū)W盟委員會(huì)的公債。
The memorandum of understanding between Portugal and Mozambique for transferring the dam stipulates that， “a prerequisite of any agreement that the Portuguese Government will consider satisfactory that the operation will have no negative effect on the national deficit of the Portuguese Republic”。
