The Framework Loan Agreement is essential for establishing ongoing lending relationships in the Philippine market, particularly suitable for businesses requiring regular access to financing. This document type is commonly used when a borrower needs flexible access to funds over time, rather than a single loan disbursement. The agreement must comply with Philippine banking regulations, including the New Central Bank Act and Truth in Lending Act, while incorporating international best practices in lending. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for drawdown mechanics, interest calculation, security arrangements, and compliance requirements. The framework structure is particularly valuable for projects with phased funding requirements or companies with recurring capital needs, as it streamlines the lending process by pre-agreeing terms for multiple future loans.
