A major component of the comprehensive overhaul on the ODA will be a merger between JICA and JBIC which currently extend ODA loans to developing countries. The ‘new’ JICA will be expected to be operational in 2008 subject to ongoing legislative process. Following the reorganization, the agency will be able to provide more streamlined, effective and ‘seamless’ help to developing countries, offering not only the technical cooperation but also grant and loan assistance ‘under on roof’. Thank you very much. ‘New ‘ JICA
