                    [Summary] => The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has decided to extend the availment period for a $200-million loan package by another two years.


The amount was earlier earmarked for energy-related projects on the condition that the Electricity Reform bill will be passed into law.


ADB director Vladimir Bohun said the bank has decided to extend the availment of the loan due to the present political condition. 


Bohun said they expect the reform to be passed within the next two years based on "promises by certain government officials."
